- background. Park Western Mine intercepts several natural caves including three large caverns that form a link in the Minera Cave System between Ogof Llyn Parc and Ogof Llyn Ddu 3; there remain several leads to pursue within the system to investigate possible new sections of cave. The Park Western shaft was in a state of dangerous collapse before NWCC undertook major stabilisation works inĀ 1986 to secure the structure.
