Take a tour to experience the caves for yourself, learning on the way the gruesome tales of Roger Mortimer and King David of Scotland...

With some of the caves dating back to medieval times, the tour is strenuous with over 300 steep steps. However, for those who wish to descend through hundreds of years the tour is a must.

Due to the amount of steps involved, Caves Tours are strenuous and not recommended for all. For this reason also they are not wheelchair accessible. For those unable to take this journey a short film revealing the magic and history of the caves can be viewed. Please call if you wish to arrange a special accompanied viewing with one of our friendly and informative guides.
