Victoria Cave
Victoria Cave is a natural formation that has been used by animals and people over millennia, but until the middle of the 19th century, the gaping aperture was much, much smaller, and at that time the cave had been forgotten about. After a dog ran inside the cave, its cavernous interior was rediscovered, and the opening was enlarged to the size you see today.
Signs warn visitors not to enter the cave, as there is a danger of rock falls.
