Caving Pubs Lost to Covid.

It's a pub - in a National Park.

Surely it would be easier to just build a new centre, or buy something like Dalesbridge?

Dalesbridge doesn't have a fully run in cartwheel though and it could take some time to get one up to spec

They'd probably let theirs go (for a fee)

An interesting idea. I must say though most cavers use the internet - Glutton Bridge is on the map!
We do get visitors from all over the UK (although not much at the moment of course).

I have no chance of getting through the spokes on the cartwheel any more..........

I watched a few of the fitter and loonier folk from LUPC do the traverse in the early 1970's but never saw anyone do the cartwheel through trip, deep respect (I had enough trouble getting over the chockstone in Providence Pot), but otherwise I doubt I've been to the Hill Inn since the late 1980's when the kids were little and could be coerced into some caving adventures and camping.

It's a pub

From what I've seen of the website it's a glorified restaurant.

And fair play. Food is what keeps these places going nowadays.

The Wanted Inn, is just a cafe/village shop at the moment. I don't know if they plan to re-open as a pub again.
