Is there access to Yealm Bridge Cavern? If so, is it quite obvious or does it take some finding?

Such a shame. Is there no point going for a look then?LeckFell said:Yealm Bridge Cave is mentioned in the Plymouth Caving Group Special Publication 3: 'The Caves of Yealmpton' (1964). Pengelly wrote about the cave in 1870. He said that in 1823 a large number of bones were found in the cave. In 1836, a Colonel Mudge published a paper about a cavern near Yealm Bridge on the south side of the river where large quantities of bones were found. There were apparently three openings, each about 12 feet above the river but a considerable part of the cavern was destroyed by quarrying and it looks like the last bit of cave was gone by 1840. Today, there is very little evidence of any cave at Yealm Bridge Quarry.
