This is to do with the consultation on extending Countryside Access (CROW) to our coasts.
I need to get an idea of the number of coastal caves (or mines/adits) we have and whether the access is public or private.
I guess the first category are solutional caves which meet the coast. These tend to be more interesting and have individual names. E.g. Beachy Head Cave, Blacknor Hole.
The second category is where the caves have been formed by the sea. These tend to be smaller, more numerous and better described by and area. E.g. Berry Head, The Gower.
I'm also interested those that aren't in limestone (if any).
Anyone know a good reference?
My list so far.
Category 1
Beachy Head Cave - public
Blacknor Hole, Portland - public
Sandy Hole, Portland - public
Tilly Whim Caves, Dorset - Private
Merlin's Cave, Cornwall - public
Category 2
Brean Down - 3 - Public
Portland - many
Dorset - a few
Berry Head - many
The Gower - many
Not many, but a start. :-[
