Approach
Park as for Blue John Cavern. Take the gate east of the buildings, then follow the wide path east and gently downhill to a second gate. Beyond it, take the path climbing diagonally up the hillside for around fifty metres, then leave it leftwards and contour across to pick up a level sheep track. Stay on the track until you reach a large sycamore -- the arch lies concealed beneath it. Descend at the far end of the hole.
It reads worse than it is: allow five to ten minutes. You are in full view on the approach, so keep a low profile and take care not to dislodge anything down the slope.
If coming up from the lower parking, do NOT go straight up from the show cave. Carry on uphill until level with the crag, then contour back south.
