Many a wonderful fry up before heading to the gorge to go caving.

Went there lots as a scout many year ago to go camping and caving. A beautiful part of the country both above and below ground.

A wonderful building and some interesting art. Crowds weren’t bad when I went. A tip. Take the lift to the top and walk down.

Not worth a special visit, but nice if your in the area.
