Site description

Levitt Hagg Hole was included in the 1997 RIGS Survey by Tony Gibbs of the Derbyshire Caving Association.

The area around Levitt Hagg Wood was inspected twice, on the 7th and 16th of March 2007. The grid reference provided appeared to locate this cave in the fenced and landscaped Levitt Hagg landfill site, which is not readily accessible However, many of the caves listed have proved to have been extremely difficult to locate, access or identify and on at least one occasion the information sources relating to the caves have had inaccurate grid references. Following instructions by Tony Gibbs, the remaining quarries of Levitt Hagg were inspected. Photographs from [SE 53791 01137] showed two holes in the rock face, at an elevated position and at [SE 53784 01029], there is an entrance into the rock face which has been enlarged with a man made arched entrance and has been walled up.

Further information on this site should be obtained from Derbyshire Caving Association.
