Dan Yr Ogof: The Jewel of Welsh Caves

Dan yr Ogof, situated in the upper Swansea valley, is arguably the foremost showcave complex in the British Isles. Its spectacular and colourful formations, and the sheer immensity of some of its caverns, such as the aptly-named Cathedral Cave, are awe-inspiring and attract over 200,000 visitors a year.But beyond the confines of the showcave, deep below the windswept moorlands of the Black Mountain, are ten miles of mapped passageways and caverns of unimaginable beauty;-a secret, dark world brought to life and stunningly portrayed in this lavishly illustrated book. Dan yr Ogof: The Jewel of Welsh Caves is a classic account of exploration but the story, which has its beginning in 1912, is far from complete. Breathtaking discoveries and many miles of hitherto unknown tunnels await those who are prepared to explore the extremities of the known system.
