Dan yr Ogof (Welsh pronunciation:[ˈdanərˈoːɡɔv]), at the National Showcaves Centre for Wales, is a 17-kilometre (11 mi) long cave system in south Wales, about 5 miles (8 km) north of Ystradgynlais and 15 miles (24 km) southwest of Brecon, in the Brecon Beacons National Park. It is the main feature of a show cave complex, which is claimed to be the largest in the United Kingdom and is a tourist attraction in Wales.[2] The first section of the cave system is open to the public, but the extensive cave system beyond is scheduled as a national nature reserve and is open only to bona fide cavers.[2]
The bones of some 42 humans, as well as numerous animal bones, have been found in one of the nearby chambers of this cave system.[3] In a 2005 poll of Radio Times readers, Dan yr Ogof was named as Britain's greatest natural wonder.[4]
