Approach

The Sobra Valley has a significant track (part concrete in places) that runs east to west through the valley. Follow the track west. At the first obvious fork, with left heading down to the Cowshead Cavern entrance, stay on the main track for 350m, to where the track runs through trees on either side. Head north straight up the side of the valley for 200m. The entrance is very small and difficult to spot.

Entrance

The entrance is a very small hole

Description

A tight entrance crawl leads to a 6m long passage between very old calcite and stalactites. There is no draft and no way on. However, the cave is only 50m horizontally from the large avens at the back end of Cowshead Cavern.
