Ogof Craig a Ffynnon

Ogof Craig a Ffynnon (Welsh for "Rock and Fountain Cave") is a cave in Wales. The cave is about 13 km in length, making it currently the sixth longest known cave in Wales and the thirteenth longest cave in the United Kingdom. The cave is renowned as one of the most well-decorated caves in Britain.
The cave contains some early short crawling sections and some wet passages with voluminous quantities of mud before developing into a series of large sections lavishly decorated with mud and calcite formations. The most spectacular of these is the Hall of the Mountain Kings, a large cavern liberally adorned with flowstone.
Beyond the well-decorated section the cave continues in a long series of low passages. It is thought that the cave will eventually be connected to the theoretical Llangattock System through Ogof y Daren Cilau.
Access to the cave is controlled by the Grwp Ogofydd Craig A Ffynnon.
