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.
