Bradwell

=Caves of the Bradwell Catchment Area=

The Bradwell Catchment can roughly be described as a triangle formed by Bradwell Village, Great Hucklow, and Bradwell Moor.

Bagshawe cavern is the main cave system for the catchment and there are two main resurgences. The largest is the The Lumb within Bradwell village, Spingfields being smaller and further downstream.
