We really enjoyed out walk through Dunbar Cave, the Cave was closed but we had a beautiful walk through the woods and well maintained paths. It was very relaxing. there is a longer path but due to time we chose the shorter and it was still long enough to see some beautiful scenery.

I don't think I'd add this as a stop while on family vacation, but if you are visiting the area, one should stop in. Nice little history lesson. Cave is closed, but worth the little walk back to see the opening and rock formations,

We took preteen boys and enjoyed the tour. Lamps have to be carried with you. The chilled air was a welcome experience, as was the area around the cave mouth--formerly used as a popular band venue in days gone by.
