Fascinating rock dwellings/houses believed to have been initially carved into the sandstone sometime in the 1600s and later formed into quaint accommodation for local workers. Visiting this site will give you an insight into living in the late 1800s. There is also a tea room and seating/eating area available at the upper level of the rock houses which are only accessible by steps. There are multiple woodland trails surrounding the rock houses that lead to more carved dwellings/caves which are explorable, dog friendly and a pleasant family day out. Some trails require a lot of up-hill walking so be mindful. They do lead to an area which was once an Iron Age hill fort. Multiple designated parking areas with ample parking.
We enjoyed going to look at the cave houses last weekend. All the staff where knowledgeable and friendly. There's toilets and a tea room. We didn't have any cake but the portions looked generous and tasty. We then went on the red walk after getting an ice cream from the van at the bottom it was beautiful, as well as well signposted and maintained.
Parking is just off the main road and reasonably limited means at busy times you may have to park about 10 mins walk away. Site owned by national trust and therefore an entrance fee of around £6.50 . Site is really interesting, and you can go in to 2 refurbished rock houses. There are others unfurnished. Also a very good little cafe on site. A short but steep walk up to where the old hill fort will give you great views across 4 counties
If you fancy somewhere a little different, a great small cafe and a lovely walk, then this is the place for you! Visit houses built into the side of a cliff, lived in until the 1960's! Guides are friendly and easy talk to. Toilets next to cafe and others at the end of your walk. Lovely countryside to stroll through or a big more strenuous walk to the top of the iron age hill fort. Free car parking as well!
A wonderful place. Tea room has the best scones I have ever tasted! We spent nearly four hours with our kids and they thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff very helpful and friendly as well. Will definitely visit again when the weather warms up.
Excellent detour / stop off on the way to Wales from home. Spent about two hours here, although could have stayed longer. Two wonderfully restored rock houses, dressed for the early 1900's, and the remains of others, plus the rebuilt tea room. Great chocolate cake too, by the way! Staff super knowledgeable and informative. On the whole, a very enjoyable visit and I shall likely return.
What an amazing place unbelievable that people lived here not to long ago. Volunteers were well informed and entertaining,and to have a fabulous chat to Mr Reeves who's father actually lived there when he was a boy.The surroundings are stunning too .some fab walks in beautiful countryside with beautiful views STRONGLY RECOMMEND a visit
Easy parking on site or hike up from the town. Limited visiting out of season but still good to explore when shut down. Sign boards throughout the site and plenty of trails to walk if you have time. I thought the climb to the ridge and hill fort behind the rock houses with the great views was well worth it.
Such a beautiful day to attempt the 5 mile purple walk. Definitely not for the fainthearted though! It was a tough walk but so happy to have done it! Beautiful views, amazing caves and rocks!!!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
Fabulous place. Worth to visit and bask at the atmosphere of cave houses. You have to buy a ticket to get into the houses but the price is fair. Lots of different trails at the place so definitely good for a day visit.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
