The walk to the cave is relatively easy going and the surface inside the caves is very good under foot, the surrounding countryside is beautiful, heading up and beyond the cave is more challenging if unsteady and requires good footwear £2.50 to walk the well kept paths and £10.50 for the cave entrance, excellent value.
It's actually quite a trek to the cave from the carpark in Clapham, especially if you have bad knees and ankles like myself, but if you can do it, it's certainly worthwhile. The walk was lovely even in February, I imagine it is even more so when the Rhododendrons are in flower. If you can't bend or crouch I think you might have a problem in the cave, as there's, extremely low areas, which you have to walk through. We went because dogs on leads are allowed to go, even in the cave. Check opening times though, as looks like only open weekends in the winter.
Don't let the price put you off.
It's totally worth it.
Short- not uphill or steep..? walk like some have said..?
Inside the caves was amazing.
So well organised, they give you a laminated sheet with numbers on to read passages when you reach said number. Couldn't have been any better really.
A guided tour would be too much because the caves are slightly narrow and you're free to look around yourself and take photos etc.
We were dubious as well because its £13 but changed our minds once we got in. If you want to do the walk but not the caves it's only £2.50 for adults.
