About Corris Caverns - Dragons, Caverns, Crafts &... Gin

Corris Caverns is a fantastic day out for all ages in all weathers, there's something for everyone.

You will love this attraction if you enjoy free all day parking which is right next to the entrance. Children will love following the dragon footprints which start from the main entrance and lead you up to the King Arthur's Labyrinth reception - can they stride as wide as a dragon?🐲

King Arthur's Labyrinth is a unique underground storytelling adventure and a part of Corris Caverns. This exciting visit starts with a short boat ride, through a magical waterfall and back into the Dark Ages. In a distant time of myth and legends you'll be guided through the underground Labyrinth by a mysterious hooded boatman where ancient Welsh legends unfold with dramatic scenes, light and sound. Enjoy legends of dragons, giants, fierce battles and King Arthur.
