Location
Grid Reference: SD 985743

Altitude: 320 m

Access
Permission is not required.

Description
An easy cave with a superb streamway.

A scramble down boulders at the entrance leads to a large stream passage. This can be followed upstream to the Hobson's Choice boulder choke. A careful climb up through the choke leads to more cave passage and eventually back to the streamway. Two climbs up waterfalls lead to the Roof Gardens and a third leads to a boulder choke which marks the end of the cave.

The connection to Dowbergill Passage is in the true left wall, downstream from Hobson's Choice.
