There are two very different caves to explore, Gough's Cave and Cox's Cave which features ‘Yeo’s Journey' - an immersive multimedia experience that tells the story of how the caves were formed through the power of water, as well as a museum, Jacob's Ladder and the Lookout Tower and Beyond the View which takes you above the stunning Mendip Hills in a virtual tour.
