This review is about Wookey Hole which I recently visited on holiday. The caves at Wookey are really interesting to visit. You are given a guided tour around the caves. You learn about some of the legends about the caves and some of the history of them. For example you learn that the first and the deepest cave dives have been at Wookey but not from the same dive. The caves themselves are really interesting to look around. The caves are very beautiful in parts especially the bit where you go over a small bridge and below there is some water and above and around you parts of the cave with all sorts of rocks, minerals e.t.c I think the tour of the caves ...  Read the complete review

Total waste of a day! - After parking the car what seemed about a mile away, my Partner and I had to que for over an hour to get to the pay cubicle (it's only when you get to to the cubicle that there is a sign telling that it's going to cost £15 per person to get in!!) Once paid we walked along towards the caves and guess what?..........Yep, another long que. One of the officials did come out to say that the que would take well over 1/2 an hour to clear. I noticed that our tickets stated that 'no refunds' were given, But after waiting for this length of time we decided to try our luck and get a refund which we succeeded in doing after explaining that i should ...  Read the complete review

What can i say about Wookey Hole? We queued for about half an hour to get our tickets and then took the well worn, picturesque bath to the entrance, where we were escorted down some very steep and even slippier steps and told a story about the resident Witch which ended with a couple of children clinging for dear life on to their parents legs, and others who just didn't give a fig. The caves were ok as far as caves go i guess but i found it a little too fast. In and out like a rat up a drainpipe. It was not the most fascinating of days out but we had good money off coupons that saved us over £15 for the two of us so i can't complain. A word of advice, ...  Read the complete review

For Heavens Sake... dont bother going... We have just returned from a "Day Trip" to Wookey Hole..... My husband and I took our daughte (14) and it cost us £40 for the ticket.... The caves are a waste of time... the tour to see the witch etc lasted approximately 30 minutes! The caves in themselves were ok, but what a disappoiment with the tacky lighting and the pathetic attempts at the "Witch of Wookey Hole" Having spent 2 hours driving there (and we only came from Gloucester) we arrived at lunchtime...... nowhere even half decent to eat apart from the local pub, which looked excellent but was full, so we decamped to a local "cafe"... ...  Read the complete review

I'm back from our day trip there today. Fairly tired to be honest, but here is the low down. Travel I drove by minibus from the West Midlands, and it took us over 2 and ½ hours. Past Bristol the roads started to get very narrow and we had to reverse a few times to let people past. This would have been the same for a car. We planned our route using Satellite Navigation. Picnic Area There are about 8 tables split on two levels. They are both up a hill with steps and would not be suitable for wheelchair users. I am unsure if there are other areas. When we started to have lunch it came on to rain. There were tables available under the shelter ...  Read the complete review
