Restricted Caves under normal conditions

The following is a list of caves where access is either restricted or has been cut off. As the situation can change dramatically in a very short period, cavers are requested to check local knowledge. Remember, it is normal and recommended that all cavers where possible request access permission from the landowner responsible.
