It was then explored at unprecedented speed to become the longest cave in Wales. Draenen contains a variety of spectacular decorations and some huge passages (the War of the Worlds section is probably the second largest cave passage in Britain). Its large size and occasional complexity make the cave a challenge for even experienced cavers. The cave is managed by the Pwll Du Cave Management Group.[1][3] References1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.cavinguk.co.uk/draenen/draenen.htm |first=Mark |last=Wilton-Jones |title=Ogof Draenen description |publisher=cavinguk.co.uk |date=17 April 2013 |accessdate=5 January 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://cavingnews.com/20111107-three-counties-system-connects-to-create-uks-first-100-kilometre-cave-system |title=Three Counties System Connects to Create UK’s First 100 Kilometre Cave System |publisher=Caving News |date=7 November 2011 |accessdate=5 January 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.pdcmg.org.uk/aims.htm |title=Aims of the Group |publisher=Pwll Du Cave Management Group |accessdate=5 January 2014}} 2 : Caves of Wales|Landforms of Torfaen |
