About Reigate Caves

Reigate Caves gives visitors access to a series of historic underground tunnels carved into the sandstone beneath the town, with guided tours exploring their links to medieval quarrying, smuggling stories and Second World War air-raid shelters. The caves are small but atmospheric, offering a very different kind of local history experience from Surrey’s usual stately homes and museums. Tours run throughout the year and are especially popular with families, history enthusiasts and anyone looking for something more unusual to do in Reigate.
