The cave was first explored in 1946 and is now the third-longest cave in the UK, with more than 30 miles of surveyed passage. It is also the deepest cave in the UK. This passage lies beneath the headquarters of the South Wales Caving Club, the largest such club in Britain, with more than 300 members.
