What makes Kelly Hill Caves so special?

Kelly Hill Caves are unique due to their relative geological youth and are just over half a million years old (that’s young in cave years!). This makes them a unique site to witness delicate formations like straws and helictites, which are often not found in older caves. The soft limestone here has also formed impressive flowstone slabs, creating a captivating underground landscape.

Comfortable exploring, year-round

One of the best features of Kelly Hill Caves is the natural climate control. The cave's internal temperature stays at a steady 16 degrees, making it a cool retreat during summer and a comfortable spot in winter. This feature adds to the appeal of the caves as a year-round destination.

More than just caves

Apart from the guided tours of the caves, the park offers above-ground accessible walking trails, ample parking, and picnic facilities. It the perfect spot for a day out with family and friends, offering something for everyone.
