High Cove is a major slip feature to the west of Grasslees Burn in the Simonside Hills, Northumberland, England. It contains several small rifts and caves in gritstone, up to 18 metres in length.[1] In 1985, the Moldywarps Speleological Group explored four caves at High Cove, then in 2015 a further four were discovered by Black Rose Caving Club.[2]
