Description
On an outcrop of the Durness limestone, this walk is like a walk in the Peak District. The path is not often muddy and has been built up where necessary. The caves are in an exposed position at an altitude of 1,000ft, so wet-weather gear should be carried. Although not a long walk, it's uphill all the way to the caves. There is an information board at the car park.
Additional Info
These caves were occupied about 7 -8000 years ago when the area warmed up after the last Ice Age. The bones of animals that lived in the area at that time (reindeer, bear, lynx, wolf, arctic fox) were found in the caves.
