JUG HOLES     An interesting cave with a large entrance near Matlock.  On the left of the entrance chamber there is a series of mined passages and to the right is a twelve foot (4m) climb down a mined shaft followed by a scramble down into the "Upper Series" of chambers leading to the Beehive Slopes. To the right of the main entrance is a shaft, best laddered but climbable down into the muddy "Lower Series" which lead to an exit via an adit. There are no access restrictions to Jug Holes which is located in a small wood.  Normal countryside access regulations apply here.
