Margate Caves

Margate Caves is an underground attraction with a history dating back to 1863, featuring a chalk tunnel adorned with cave paintings and murals from Georgian times. It has been used for various purposes, including a gentleman's den, air raid shelter and Victorian tourist attraction, and was recently restored and reopened in 2019 with a café, gift shop, community and conference facilities. It offers an interesting mix of landscape, ecology, geology and anthropology, allowing visitors to explore Margate's heritage and community.
