Kinver Edge and the Rock Houses - Upper Level - Caves

An afternoon visit to the National Trust property, Kinver Edge and the Rock Houses.

Kinver Edge is home to the last troglodyte dwellings occupied in England, with a set of complete cave-houses excavated into the local sandstone. One of the rocks, "Holy Austin", was a hermitage until the Reformation. The Holy Austin rock houses were inhabited until the 1960s. They are now owned by the National Trust and are open for tour. One house has been restored to a Victorian appearance, and the Martindale Caves show what life was like in the 1930s. The cottage gardens and an orchard are being replanted and restored.

The Upper Level with caves to explore. The floor of the caves was full of sand and left my footprints (or shoe prints). Ceiling was also low in parts. Especially when exiting the caves. Graffiti on all of the walls scratched out.
