Loved the cave. And the locals have given some of the rock formations the funniest names like: Porridge pot😅 Streaky Bacon🥓. Our guide also did something very cool at the end of the tour by throughing something in the water to make it ripple bit then switching his torch on so the reflection goes onto the cave walls...VERY COOL. The wee boat was also working which was relaxing.
A day out doing something different. Interesting caves with a guided tour. A lovely centre with good facilities, including a cafe or picnic tables if preferred.
Amazing tour of the caves guide was very good. Sadly the water tour was closed due to maintenance. Well worth a visit.
Absolutely amazing, don't hesitate and visit it. The cave system is amazing and besides the steps up and down, it's very accessible. They have a visitor centre, car park, cafe, shop and toilets. The visits are guided tours which is £16.5 per adult with concessions as you expect. Overall, reall well done and an amazing experience.
I had the pleasure of visiting the Marble Arch Caves as it was close to 30 years from my last visit, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming – friendly, and full of knowledge that really brought the caves’ history to life. The tour itself was fascinating, with each step taking us deeper into a landscape that felt both ancient and alive. It’s incredible to think of the history steeped within those walls, still continuing to this day. What really made the visit unique, though, was the chance to take a boat trip into the caves, as the water level was unusually low. Gliding through the dark, echoing chambers was both peaceful and awe-inspiring, giving us a perspective of the caves that felt truly special. Overall, the combination of passionate staff, rich history, and that rare boat journey made the visit stand out. It’s one of those experiences that lingers long after you leave, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for something memorable. To think that a Stalactites and Stalagmites grows 1cm every 1000 years. Stalactites are icicle-shaped mineral formations that hang from a cave's ceiling, while stalagmites are mound-shaped formations that grow upwards from the cave's floor.
