This is one of the main attractions in the upper rock nature reserve and its well worth the ticket price.

There are lots of interesting features to see inside and its well lit throughout.... more

You pay one price which includes the Rock, the monkeys (who all seem to know the drivers and do as they are told for them), caves and the Great Siege Tunnels. The caves are very interesting,... more

The leaflet from the tourist info office mentioned that a second cave had been found beneath that, and was called Lower St Michael's cave; according to the tourist info office, Lower St Michael's cave... more
