Advantages: Caves

Disadvantages: Price

LOCATION
Wookey Hole is situated in Somerset, around 20 miles from both Bath and Bristol and just 2 miles from Wells.

THE PLACE ITSELF
Car parking is free and there is a good sized car park with clean toilets located before the entrance. Alongside the caves there are a number of other smaller attractions so you can expect to spend around half a day at Wookey Hole.

When visiting the caves themselves you are guided around by a tour guide who knows a vast amount of information surrounding the caves and the myths around it regarding the witch that used to live in the caves. He also makes it a fun experience for the children as the tour lasts around 30-45 minutes and they may begin to get bored.

The caves are spectacular and you will no doubt find yourself amazed by the structure and tremendous appearence of the caves. You may also spot some wildlife as the cave is home to bats.

Alongside the caves you can visit the Monster Mill which contains a number of things including an old style penny arcade, the wookey hole cave museum, the world of minature and the chance to make some paper. Depending on what your family enjoy doing, a good hour can be spent wandering around here.

For an additional charge, you can also play Pirate Adventure Golf. We didnt play this as the prices were quite steep on top of admission prices (adults-£3.50, children £2.50 or a family £10).

You will also get a chance to see the Wookey Hole circus which puts on 3 shows a day and includes juggling, skating, unicycles, wire walking and bungee and trapeze skills.

In addition to this, after leaving the caves you will walk through a number of statues including dinosaurs, king kong and other wild animals such as lions.

MY OPINION
I think Wookey Hole is a really fun day out which all the family will enjoy. It is quite difficult to spend the whole day at Wookey Hole as you will run out of things to do but by taking your time rather than rushing you can easily spend a good half day there. My favourite piece of the day was looking around the caves due to the sheer volume of them and their shock appearance.
