Lower St. Michael’s Cave was discovered in 1942, accidentally, whilst blasting a second entrance at St Michael’s Cave in order to prepare it for use as an emergency hospital during the Second World War.  There are organised tours available to the general public priced at £5.00 per head.  The tour normally lasts around three hours, however due to the fact that there is some scrambling and minor climbing with ropes involved, duration times may vary.  The cave is totally in its original natural state (although it is fully lit).  This cave could be referred to as a show cave as most known formations may be found here.  One of the sites visited during this tour is a beautiful underground lake and fortunately for the visitor, who will no doubt not want to forget this wonderful espeleological experience, photography is permitted. 

People are advised to wear stout shoes and casual clothing.  Group sizes range from a maximum of ten and a minimum of five.  Due to the unusual nature of this tour, children under the age of ten years are not allowed.  Three days prior notice is also necessary for bookings, details listed below.

These tunnels were excavated during 1939-1944 by the Royal Engineers and a contingent of Canadian Engineers, and are an extension to The Great Siege Tunnels excavated during The Great Siege of 1779-83.  The Rock is in fact honeycombed with a 32 mile-long network of tunnels.  There are fascinating tours of these tunnels, which are conducted by a guide from H.M. Forces.

Persons wishing to go on these fascinating tours are advised to bring a torch and to wear comfortable shoes. Recommended party sizes are a maximum of fifteen and a minimum of six or seven and the price for the tours is £2.00 per person. The average duration of a tour is three hours.
