Description:
- Located 2 miles outside Ballyvaughan (turn left at the village), these caves display the effects of limestone erosion over millions of years. Water erosion dating back to the last Ice Age has carved out huge passageways and created spectacular underground rock formations. Stalactites and stalagmites have grown slowly over time and colorful mineral deposits abound. Guided tours run every 30 minutes and it can get fairly crowded, so it's best to plan your visit accordingly.
