Ogof y Daren Cilau
Ogof y Daren Cilau is one of several cave systems in the Llangattock escarpment near Crickhowell in south Powys, Wales. Its awkward 517m entrance crawl is a natural barrier to any casual visitor and precludes the need for a locked gate to protect it from vandals. Highlights of Daren Cilau include the Time Machine, the largest cave passage in Britain; the White Company, a set of pure white stalactites; and the Bonsai Tree, a branching helictite.

Ogof Agen Allwedd
Ogof Agen Allwedd or Agen Allwed, also known as Aggy, is, at 32½ km long, one of the longest cave systems in Wales, and the longest cave system on the Llangattock escarpment, where Ogof y Daren Cilau is also found. There are several round trips that can be followed within the system, but all trips start via the short entrance series and first boulder choke, which is mostly easy caving.
