Chislehurst is a small town in kent, located within very close proximty from C London by train and I love it. I visited the caves two months ago, but drove and it took over a nhour - so my advice is if you are coming from London, take the train.

This was the first cave tour I've participated in and it was an interesting experience. Getting to Chislehurst Caves is a walk and a half. We took a train there so we had to walk maybe 1.5 miles.

Cannot wait to go round the caves... more

In world war 11 the caves were used as air raid shelters... more
