Cost £1 for all day parking all year round. Fairly big car park. Its abit of a trek to get to it, single track narrow road.

This cavern is fascinating. 245 steps down and then back up. I visited a fair amount of caves, but this one was very different, and I would say one of my favourites. Our tour guide was very friendly and had many years of experience mining, he told us so much history, explained about minerals and fossils they found in this speciffic cave. What surprised me was the size of it, and the colours inside the cave were just wow, puctures dont do justice. At the bottom of it, we found a waterfall, which is fascinating as it was so deep underground. To get down there was fairly easy, slippery but easy, to go back up many people struggled, definitely need to be fairly fit to be able to do it.
There is a shop and a small caffe, car park short walking distance on the hill, free of charge, but not very big though. Cavern visit definitely worth the money.
Oh, and to mention the temperature down there is approx 8 degrees, when we visited it was warmer in the cave than outside 😊
This pub is amazing. Seeing pictures and videos does not do justice at all. We were pleasantly surprised at how quirky and impressive it was. We were very lucky to visit during the weekday, which meant that we were able to find a table and spend some time there. The lady who served was very pleasant and friendly. We found a table which was not reserved (most tables were reserved, as it looks like it gets very busy in the pub, because it is quite small I do think the best option is to book a table), and it was upstairs next to a small bar and next to the famous cursed galleon model ship. It was impressive to see it. The pub is kind of built into a cave. We had battered halloumi, which was really nice, and the wait for food wasn't long. Definitely recommend visiting, even if it is just for a cup of coffee. This pub is one of those must visit places. Hopefully, I will be back in the future.

We did not know what to expect, and it definitely blew our minds. We parked at a bus station car park, and it was a very short walk to get to the caves. Easy to find. Staff were very friendly and helpful, tickets cost us 17.50 for two people on a weekday. The young lady explained the rules and helped to get the audio set up. It is audio tour, approx 40 min.
The caves are quite big and there is so much to see. It was a circular walk. Crazy to think that all of this is hidden under the city. Definitely recommend visiting. And it is good value for money. Hopefully will be back at some point in a future.
