Wookey Hole Caves
Wells, Somerset and Bristol
About Wookey Hole Caves
Nestled beneath the Mendip Hills in the heart of Somerset, Wookey Hole has captivated visitors for generations. Ancient caves sculpted over millions of years. The legend of the Witch. And now, brand-new immersive projections that bring the whole story to life like never before.
Beyond the caves, your ticket unlocks a full day out - circus shows, Dinosaur Valley, adventure golf, 4D cinema, vintage arcades, soft play, and more. Plan for 4 to 5 hours. You'll want every minute
The Caves - Now with Immersive Projections
Step into one of the UK's largest show cave systems on a guided tour through ancient chambers sculpted over millions of years. Brand new for 2026, the caves now feature immersive light projections across three extraordinary chambers, bringing the geology, folklore and history of Wookey Hole vividly to life in ways never seen before. Wear sensible shoes - the cave floor can be uneven and wet in places.
