Ogof Ffynon Ddu

The area surrounding Abercraf is something of a hotspot for cavers. The village boasts the only specialist caving shop in Wales and the converted cottages at Penwyllt are home to the headquarters of the South Wales Cavers Club.

Jan, West Wales
I remember being taken down ogog ffynon ddu back in the early 50s. I remember we had to go down a rope to get in and some one lent me some long johns. I was only a kid at the time!There was a it called the toast rack and i was shown a feature which included something called cave pearls. I was scared to tell you the truth
