About
The South Street Caves are one of the most distinctive attractions associated with Dorking and deserve inclusion for that reason alone. The museum's own material makes clear that these tours have become a meaningful part of the town's heritage offer, giving visitors access to a side of Dorking most would otherwise miss.
That local distinctiveness is exactly what a best-of file should reward.
