Redcliffe Caves
Redcliffe Caves are a series of man-made tunnels beneath the Redcliffe area of Bristol, England. The Triassic red sandstone was dug in the Middle Ages. It provided sand for glass making and pottery production. From the 17th to early 19th centuries further excavation took place and the caves were subsequently used for storing trade goods. The caves can be accessed on certain days and it is best to check in availability in advance.
