Figures represent number of landowners.
Those in brackets represent approximate number of caves, where different. Annual payment or lease may include may include 'pepper-corn' rent in certain instances. The freedom to enjoy that heritage is as important to people as are other basic rights. The NCA is opposed to the principle of paying for access to caves. However, landowners, occupiers or managers may incur costs due to the usage of footpaths or other routes of access, accidental damage to walls and fences etc, by cavers and should be compensated to the level of costs incurred.
