Wetsink
(Slaughter Stream Cave) is now owned by FoDCCAG and access is controlled through the permit system as above.
Please note that Redhouse Lane is locked and there is no general access to anybody other than those involved in the exploration, surveying, photography, filming and conservation of the recent finds. This is primarily to preserve the cave, but also out of respect to the diggers who spent many, many trips in difficult conditions making the breakthrough. We hope to open general access as soon as we can, but given the extent of finds, and the fact that the cave will be closed by high water from around mid-October, this will likely be sometime late summer 2025.
