The Michelin Guide's review
These huge "wet" limestone caves in the Whetstone Mountains were discovered in 1974. There were formed following the gradual retreat of the sea 200 000 years ago. The Rotunda-Throne Room is home to five different types of limestone formations created by the movement of water, including a 58ft column known as Kubla Khan. Big Room Complex boasts some beautiful multicoloured rocks, but is not accessible in summer as thousands of bats nest here.
