Unfortunately it has proved impossible to maintain safe access to the site using the ?Derbyshire Key? system because persons unknown persistently leave the gate open after undoing the bolt. Lathkill Dale is very popular with the general public and it is essential that the site is kept safe to avoid danger to children.
Reluctantly DCA and Natural England have had to change the arrangements and will now be installing a combi-lock, so cavers wanting access will need to obtain the code in advance. To do this, please email the DCA Access Officer (using the standard email address as per the DCA website), giving your name and the date on which you wish to visit.
