West Wycombe: Hell-Fire Caves
Description
The caves started out as a quarry, but were dug out further as part of a work creation scheme for upgrading the road to High Wycombe. Once the caves were complete they then also served as a space for the Hell-Fire club created by Sir Francis Dashwood and with a murky history as to what went on at the meetings - which involved many members of the political elite of the country. Today you can explore all of the caves which end about 300m below the church of St Lawrence on the top of the hill.
