CONNING TOWER CAVE

Mendip
ST 6575 4755

Access

Please read the general access conditions for the Fairy Cave Quarry Caves.

No leader is required.

The Fairy Cave Quarry Management Committee administers access to this cave on behalf of the quarry owners. Access is open to bona fide caving clubs. All cavers visiting the cave must have adequate public liability insurance, such as the BCA's.

The quarry has been fenced and gated by the owner. The gate is fitted with a combination lock and the number is available from the major Mendip Clubs. Please keep the gate locked.

A locked car park is provided for visiting cavers. The key is available from the major Mendip Clubs. You are asked to make use of this facility rather than parking on the road since the road is narrow and despite its appearance, takes a lot of 38ton lorry traffic.

An alternative option is to park at the Cerberus Hut, half a mile up the hill, for a small goodwill fee. Be sure to let them know you are leaving your car. There have not been any reported car break-ins but you should always remove valuables from display anyway.
