This notice has been issued by Bristol Water about the danger of flooding in the cave:
DANGER TAKE CARE SEVERE AND SUDDEN FLOODING IN THE LONGWOOD CAVE Longwood has long been known to be dangerous because of the risk of flooding from a stream. The danger is even greater now because the cave is likely to flood more often. Pumps that take water from the springs at Charterhouse will now stop working automatically. This can cause a sudden flood wave making some passages impassable and the exit and entrance extremely difficult to negotiate. There are warning notices stressing this danger at the cave entrance. Access to the cave is controlled by CCC Ltd, and only cavers holding a current CCC Ltd permit should enter the cave. Bristol Water plc
