Boho Cave

The weather had been pretty dry and today was forecasted to be dry again so we opted for a trip to Boho Cave which had the potential to be affected seriously by flooding.
The cave is near the village of Boho and we parked opposite the 200 year old but sadly dilapidated looking Linnet Inn.
We entered via the quarry entrance which was dry and had an excellent trip. The cave was mostly walking with loads of signs of severe flooding, with twigs and branches caught in the roof and at passage junctions.
There were other entrances, including on with a concrete dam by a natural open-air pool and others which were smaller.
There were small sections of crawling and also quite a few well decorated areas including two largish chambers.
It was strange, though, at one point where there was a short section of crawling and you had to get past a large section of old car front plastic bumper presumably washed in during a flood!
