Dorking Cave Tours (2018)

next to War Memorial, South Street, Surrey, RH4 2HQ

  • Available anytime
  • Pre-booking not required

The tour lasts 45 minutes and goes 60 feet underground to explore these fascinating tunnels. The tour covers the history and geology of the caves as well as many interesting legends and theories. We meet beside the War Memorial in South Street.

Part of Dorking's extensive system of cellars and caves are cut into the soft Greensand dating back to at least the 17th century. The entrance is via a discreet doorway at street level into extensive galleries used, until recently, as wine cellars. From the wine cellars a series of steep staircases lead down deep under Butter Hill to a cave of uncertain age and purpose. Explore the caves with expert guides. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. It is important to wear sensible shoes and no open toed sandals.
