Dan yr Ogof Caves
The caves are located in Abercrave in the Swansea valley. I went here recently, and enjoyed the day.
At first I thought the admission charges were a bit expensive, but you get to see quite a lot for your money.
There are three caves to visit, the Dan yr Ogof cave, a winding cave with beautiful formations accentuated by colourful lighting.
Cathedral cave, a massive cave discovered in 1963 which is brought to life by modern lighting and dramatic music. By the way, if you are looking for somewhere unusual to get married
then why not tie the knot in Cathedral cave?
It is the only cave I know that is licensed to conduct weddings.
The Bone cave is a small cave where 42 skeletons have been discovered, many bones dating back to the Bronze age over 3,000 years ago, animal bones have also been found, the oldest being of deer over 7,000 years old..
Down at the farm house you will find The Shire horse centre which has some of the biggest horses I have ever seen.
An old barn houses Barney Owl,s adventure playground for 6~10 year olds where you will find slides
rope climbs,aerial walkways all under cover
