Echo Caves

Stone Age relics have been found in these caves, which were discovered in 1923 and named after dripstone formations that echo when tapped. The one-hour guided tour leads you deep into the caverns on walkways and staircases (sensible shoes required), to a cool underground world of limestone stalactites and stalagmites, some named after figures such as the Madonna.

The formations of the Crystal Palace chamber are a highlight.
