They will kit you out with a helmet and head torch before taking the short walk to an underground mine shaft. After a scramble through the entrance hole you'll find yourself in a secret underground tunnel with a fascinating history and incredible 350 million year old geology. The abandoned mine was used as a secret weapons base during the second World War. The armoury was discovered by a local boy by accident and was promptly sworn to secrecy under the officials secrets act. The weapons were hidden by the Home Guard to enable us to fight back in case of German occupation. You'll get up close with 350 million year old geology, calcites, gour pools, cave pearls and shark teeth stalactites and stalagmites.
Keep an eye out. Cavers have been searching for the most famous lost cave on the Mendip Hills for decades and an entrance to an underground abyss more than 40 fathoms deep is believed to be somewhere within the mine. Don't worry though their qualified instructor will be with you throughout your adventure.
