Cryptic caves

[Tricky Dicky]

Swildons Hole?

That's the one, over to you

 

[andys]

Ok try this Dales one.....

"Dump to doctor hold heavenly body. ( 7,3 )"

 

[andys]

It should, of course, read "holds".

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Mustard Pot (heavenly body is star, ends in rd (dr) etc) ????

 

[andys]

Sorry for the delay - yes, that's the one though the solution is slightly different. Apart from the word STAR, the remaining letters are an anagram of DUMP TO....... Your go.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Place for wastewater in urban area? (4,5)

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Town Drain?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Town Drain?

That's the one, over to you

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Possibly a bit contrived, but here we go..


Queen's retreat or where another spoke both ways. (5, 4)

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Amending clue slightly to

Queen's retreat or where another both ways. (5, 4)
Queen's retreat or another's who spoke twice. (5, 4)

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Rhino Rift (Rhino sounds abit like Regina, RR both ways)???????????????

 

[RobinGriffiths]

I like the thinking, but focus the duality on another word.

 

[RobinGriffiths]

A little clue, although, I'll put in spoiler in case people are still having a mull.

Spoiler: a little clue

We're looking for two persons sharing the same moniker - one contemporaneous with ourselves, the other not

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Not so much a cavers cave but fairly well known cave in pembrokeshire is Rook's Cave. (Rook is another name for Castle in chess, which would be the Queens retreat)

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Fraid not. I'm away till Wed from today, so I'll pop another clue so it's not festering.

A woman's name - both with a title, one was a queen, the other's less regal.

 

[ChrisB]

A woman's name - both with a title, one was a queen, the other's less regal.

That fits somewhat with an idea I had from the start - Victoria Cave (yes, but no, but...) ...but it doesn't fit the word count.

 

[RobinGriffiths]

'My' queen predates Victoria by approaching 3 millenia.

Poking around for an answer has lead me to the Queen's Cave which is in a deep gorge in Dipton Woods south of Hexham. Thanks for pointing me towards what should be a good day out Robin. As for your clue, sorry I have no idea.

 

[RobinGriffiths]

spoke twice will lead you to the identity of the individual who only slighty unfairly, is thought of by the casual British observer of Public Life to be in charge of, or on the board of every public body going.

Dido's Cave.
