Hazards and Warnings

Knowledge of both ends of the Dowber Gill Passage (the connection to Dow Cave) should be obtained before attempting the through trip and settled weather is required. The through-trip is deceptively strenuous and not recommended for novices.

Access

No restrictions

No permission is required. Please be courtous to land owners and follow an reasonable requests they make. Park with respect and don't block gateways etc.

Providence Pot is now open following successful work to stabilise the entrance (November 2014). Please note however that the original scaffolding in the entrance shaft remains in a poor condition, and care should be taken to minimise climbing on this. Further work in 2015 is planned to address this.
