This natural fortress contains a vast network of subterranean passages, including St Michael's Cave with its massive stalagmite formations and the archaeological complex of Gorham's Cave at sea level. These sites showcase unique geological features, from towering peaks to intricate sea caverns, offering insight into the region's prehistoric past and natural evolution within the Upper Rock Nature Reserve.
