Smugglers Adventure Q: Are St Clements Caves real Caves? A: Yes, they have been formed over many centuries with a little help from Joseph Golding in the 1820’s Q: Is it cold in the Caves? A: No, the Caves are sandstone, a good heat insulator. You will feel warm in the Winter and cool in the Summer, with the temperature a constant 530F. Q: How long does it take to visit the Caves? A: Usually at least an hour. Q: Is there parking nearby? A: Some, but watch out – a lot of the parking is resident’s permit only. We advise you to park on the seafront and either walk up, or take the West Hill Cliff Railway. Q: Are there any steps? If so how many? A: There are a lot of steps down into the Caves, making wheelchair access very difficult. Q: Can we bring pushchairs in? A: Our Fire Regulations do not allow pushchairs in the Caves but we have baby sling on loan at the Admissions Desk.
