Twll Du - January 2018
A Stop notice has been placed on Twll Du by Cadw and cavers are asked to abide by the notice and not use this entrance.
A stop notice lasts for 28 days.
The various bodies involved are in discussions as to the best way forward.
Continued use of this entrance will cause further damage to the site which will make negotiations much more difficult.
