Yordas cave was a show cave in Victorian times, with visitors travelling from miles around. Because of this, it's been made very accessible with a widened entrance with carved steps. You don't need any specialist equipment (except wellies and a head torch) to visit this amazing place, where you can travel 100m underground, following the course of a shallow stream through a huge chamber full of stalactites to eventually reach a huge underground waterfall at the back of the cave. Superb!

Entrance to the Yordas cave. It can be a bit slippy getting in as it's muddy so be careful. There's a waterfall in this cave you can see if you head right once in the cave.

A former Victorian show cave, Yordas Cave has been a natural curiosity for centuries. The cave is made up of a large Main Chamber measuring 55 meters by 15 meters with a stream flowing across the floor. There are also various passages, shafts and even a waterfall inside.
Legend has it, that a giant called Yordas once lived in the cave. Today, you are more likely to find fellow hikers and explorers.
The cave is situated on private land but is still open to visitors any time of day. Entrance is free.
