Bonnechere Caves
About Bonnechere Caves
For over 55 years, families have been having amazing underground adventures for their family day out at Bonnechere Caves...and now it's your turn! Bonnechere Caves have been formed over millions of years, and really are a marvel of nature. The caves themselves lie under a hill of limestone, that is actually thought by geologists to have been the seabed of a tropical body of water during the age of the dinosaurs...how cool is that!?
Kids LOVE investigating the weird and wonderful caves, and they can do this through the guided tour.
The tours depart every 20 to 30 minutes, and last for around an hour. Even on the hottest days, the caves are cool - after all - they don't get the sun like above ground does!
Your journey begins down a set of stairs that will lead you into the caves, and then your adventure starts. You will experience white waters of waterfalls, amazing rock formations - including those iconic stalagmites and stalactites - and the whole experience is enhanced by colorful electric lights.
Along your way, try and spot the fossils of coral and little sea creatures all dotted around the cave network!
It's a family day out with a twist, and gives you an insight into how amazing and magical our planet really is!
Dig deep for your next adventure - you know you want to!
