Hellfire Caves

Excavated by Sir Francis Dashwood in the 1750’s, these extraordinary caves were reputed to have hosted the Hell-Fire Club whose membership included some of Britain’s most senior aristocrats and statesmen. A tour of the caves takes you past various small chambers to the Banqueting Hall, down over the River Styx to the Inner Temple, which is about 300feet beneath the church at the top of the hill. Special events for families are held in the summer and at Halloween.
