Nearcliff Wood Rift Cave

Entrance of Nearcliff Wood Rift Cave

Access

See “Northern Caves”, Vol. 1 (1988) for description, grading & survey. Details also in YSS Journal, Vol.1, 1988. No known access restriction. RIGS. The information detailed below is taken from the 1997 RIGS Survey by Tony Gibbs of the Derbyshire Caving Association.

About 400 m North of East end of disused railway viaduct in old quarry, are two entrances, difficult to locate. Follow path under railway to path slanting up on right over old tips. Follow this path back towards the railway, to branch path on left into thick woodland. With luck the entrances will be found nearby, near foot of scarp.
