The Marble Arch Caves Global Geopark is host to one of Europe's finest showcaves allowing visitors to explore a fascinating, natural underworld of rivers, waterfalls, winding passages and lofty chambers. Lively and informative guides conduct tours past a bewildering variety of cave formations – stalactites glisten above stream ways and chambers while fragile mineral veils and cascades of creamy calcite coat walls and spread as shimmering terraces across rock strewn floors. Spectacular walkways allow easy access while powerful lighting reveals the stunning beauty and grandeur of the caves. Electrically powered boats glide through huge caverns carrying visitors along a subterranean river.

Tours last for 75 minutes and are suitable for people of average fitness. Comfortable walking shoes and a warm sweater are recommended.

The caves have good parking, a souvenir shop, restaurant, exhibition area, an audio-visual theatre and are located in a National Nature Reserve. Education Services are available for schools and colleges.

Invites there folks, please register the interest, texts and emails and PM's will go out tomorrow!

Another days good crack despite the RBS / Ulster bank ruining many peoples ability to join us due to being unable to get at funds!

Such an amazing place to go and anyone in the country visiting id hugely recommend it!

Inside was very difficult to take photos of how amazing the place looks! Like nothing ive saw on earth before...... feels like your walking through the nest from Aliens!!!

And then the descent into middle earth......... the size and scale of everything is just unexplainable.
