About

Reigate Caves should lead because they give the town a genuinely unusual indoor attraction rather than a generic rainy-day fallback. The official site explains that visits cover Barons' Cave and the Tunnel Road caverns, turning the town's hidden sand-mining history into a memorable guided experience.\n\nThat local distinctiveness makes the caves the clearest reputation-first indoor inclusion in Reigate, even though access is limited to open days and tours.
