The Hell-Fire Caves go deep into the West Wycombe Hill.

A quarter of a mile underground the narrow winding passages take you into various chambers such as Franklin's Cave, Miners Cave and the Banqueting Hall finally ending up at the Inner Temple after you have crossed the bridge over the River Styx.

The Caves were originally excavated by Sir Francis Dashwood in the 1750's to give employment to the villagers following a succession of harvest failures. Waxwork models, a commentary and realistic sound effects help to bring the history of these unique caves to life. Children can explore the tunnels and caverns staying cool on a hot day and dry on a wet day.

There is a gift shop and cafe serving home-made cakes, cream teas and light snacks. In addition you can enjoy a picnic on the surrounding hill-side.

Cream tea's, homemade cakes, light lunches and snacks. Hot and cold drinks.
