Description
Victoria Cave got its name because the inner chamber was discovered in 1837, the year of Queen Victoria's coronation. Bones found in the cave include some from mammoths. It contained a large number of bones, of which the earliest were 130,000 years old and included those of hippos, narrow-nosed rhino, elephants and spotted hyenas. They date to a period when the climate was much warmer than today.

The last part of the trail up to the cave is steep and slippery. You can only enter the entry to the cave as it is barricaded off.
