Poole's Cavern is a spectacular natural limestone cave that has been a tourist attraction since the 16th century. Guided tours take visitors through a series of chambers filled with impressive stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstone formations. Highlights include the 'Poole's Cavern' chamber, named after a local outlaw, and the 'Roman Chamber', which reveals evidence of ancient mining. The cave maintains a constant temperature, making it a cool retreat in summer. Above ground, the surrounding woodland offers scenic walks.
