Dorking South Street Caves

As long as you set your expectations accordingly these caves are very interesting. They are 100% man-made so don't expect vast open spaces with stalactites and stalagmites, instead prepare for tight tunnels, a bit claustrophobic if you're prone to that. The caves are a constant 14 degrees year round so prepare for that depending on what you're wearing for the weather outside. The way it has been carved out you will end up retracing your steps, so beware that it doesn't seem that far on the way down but climbing the stairs all the way back up in one go might take you by surprise. I attended the Halloween special tour which had the real information interspersed with some \spooky\ stories told that had been made up just for that night, always told with a nod and a wink so you knew what was real and what wasn't. From start to finish the tour took roughly 45 minutes and well worth it.
