Disability Access Statement English Title
Due to the natural layout and mountainous location of the complex, a number of very steep natural inclines and declines have to be negotiated when moving around the site (in addition there are over 100 steps in the first cave), this applies both above and below ground. With this in mind access for wheelchair users has to be restricted for Health and Safety reasons in high-risk areas. Also, any visitor using a walking aid, may find the terrain unsuitable.

Visually impaired visitors should note that lighting levels vary greatly within the showcaves, reflecting conservation issues regarding flora and fauna underground. Further to this strobe lighting is also used in some areas.  As the underground environment is created by Nature, it must be noted that the cave walls and floors are very irregular – it is not like walking in a shopping centre!  Throughout their entire visit an accompanying adult must remain with any person with impaired vision, to ensure that persons safety.

People with hearing difficulties should note that all the interpretation underground (and the majority above ground) is undertaken via audio commentaries that play at various points throughout the site.  As well as general information, warnings are also relayed by this audio system relating to forthcoming terrain.  Any person who is hard of hearing must be accompanied by a person who is able to pass on this safety information, whilst visiting the complex.

For further information please telephone 01639 730 284, (7 days a week, April 1st (or Easter) – October 31st, from 9.00am – 5.00pm) to speak with either Carl or James.

Oherwydd y tirlun tonnog mynyddig naturiol sydd ar y safle, gyda nifer o lethrau serth, i fyny ac i lawr sydd yw cyfarfod gan deithio o amgylch y safle (yn ychwanegol mae dros 100 o risiau sydd yn yr ogof cyntaf), mae’n cynnwys ar yr wyneb a than ddaearol. Gyda hyn mewn golwg, bydd yn orfodol cyfyngu defnyddwyr cadair olwyn oherwydd rhesymau Iechyd a Diogelwch mewn safleoedd perygl uchel. Hefyd, bydd ymwelwyr sydd yn defnyddio cymorth i cerdded yn gweld yr ardal yn anghymwys.

Ymwelwyr sydd gyda nam golwg. Nodwch fod lefelau y goleuadau yn amrywio’n fawr iawn yn yr ogofeydd, mae hyn trwy gadwraeth i’r planhigion ag anifeiliaid sydd yn yr ogofeydd. Yn ychwanegol mae goleuadau strobe mewn ambell man.  Crëwyd yr amgylchedd tanddaearol gan natur, ac oherwydd, maen rhaid sylweddoli bod y llawr, a hefyd y muriau sydd yn yr ogof yn afreolaidd – nid yw fel cerdded mewn canolfan siopau! Trwy gydol eich ymweliad maen angenrheidiol os mae eich llygaid wedi amharu bod oedolyn yn cyd cerdded ac yn aros gyda chi ledled yr amser.

Mae pobl sydd ag anhawster clyw eisiau nodi bod holl ddehongliadau tanddaearol ac (hefyd y mwyafrif ar yr arwyneb) yn cael eu hymgymryd trwy sylwebaeth awdio mewn gwahanol safleoedd ar hyd y safle. Mae hysbysrwydd cyffredinol a rhybuddion yn cael eu darlledu trwy’r gyfundrefn awdio, ac maen berthnasol i’r tirlun sydd och blaen. Unrhyw un sydd yn dioddef o anhawster clyw, maen angenrheidiol iddynt fynd gyda unigolyn syn gallu trosglwyddo’r gwybodaeth diogelwch iddynt pan ymweld â’r safle.
