Summary of site:
Meander Cave is one of a number of features in the valley overlooked by the northern cliff escarpment which contains some relict caves, mostly overhangs. Two entrances have been cleared by digging. The stream vanishes almost immediately in one, while the second leads to a meandering passage about 12m long that ends in a small chamber.
