It is an interesting place. Good historical value. The caves are really impressive, and think that it once was a venue for live music... and hosted the likes of Hendrix, beetles, and Led Zeppelin to name few; it's really impressive. The price is right... but I think they can create a longer tour and take us a little further into the caves.

Didn't prebook tickets as it was a last-minute decision, but I didn't wait long to purchase on the day. Really affordable day out! I paid £20 for me and 2 teenagers plus 2 drinks! If you took a picnic, there is a seating area I noticed outside, but there's also a cafe on site. Really interesting and interactive, the tour guide clearly LOVES his job and kept us entertained with his quirkiness. You're not allowed to take pictures down there which is a shame but it does make you be more present.

It's definitely a little historic gem, meaning to visit for the longest time, only 30 mins drive from home, parking ample, reception staff, tour guides knowledgeable and bubbly. If you go as a group defo book in advance for a slot, I went by myself but got in smoothly. It's a marvel of history. Shame photos weren't allowed in the caves. As I noted and see on the reviews, plenty were taken! You do need to be able to take a couple for memory alone and show people, so the proprietors need to be more linent on this matter, I would say, to get the word out. I managed to get one but felt ever so guilty 😔, I don't really see the problem. I can understand about using flashes, but otherwise, why not, we live in a digital world. The caves are really impressive, and the venue for live music... and hosted the likes of Hendrix, beetles, and Led Zeppelin, to name a few; it's really impressive, Dr. who used it as a film set. I believe you can hire the spaces out. Tour was short (maybe do two types, with half an hour 45 mins extra), as I think it would have been nice to go into and through some of the other interiors of the cave. Defo photos should be allowed. There is a little theatre spot outside, which isn't advertised. They could specify a theatre show to do with the caves, era, etc. There is a walk at Hawkwood estate,(I didn't get to do as rained down, but could have planned ahead had i known - next time - if i come with my grown children?), and if the theatre had show times, people could come back after to see it, so making a real day of it utilising the space and time. The cafe is warming and well-earned warm soup from the caves which were cold. So if you go in autumn or winter wrap up. They even do birthday parties. To enter was reasonable £8 for the experience and knowledge, though at times the guide can not be heard at the back, so need to be upfront, but he was charming.
