St. Vincent's Cave

We went Sunday afternoon to the suspension bridge observatory for a quick descent down to St. Vincent's Cave that overlooks the Avon Gorge. Unfortunately, children had to be 4 yrs. old to go down so Nathanael and I missed out on the fun. Mark told the guy Elliot would be turning 4 soon. He took one look at Elliot and let him through. Pays to have big kids sometimes!

About 85 ft. down to the cave from the observatory. Only accessible from the cliff face until 1837 when an artist named William West cut out the passageway. He was renting out the observatory as a studio at the time.

250 ft. down to the high water level.

Outside the observatory.

Natural rock slide worn really slick. We didn't know these kids, but had fun time watching them!
