Walk through a thousand years of history! Marvel at the Smugglers Refuge, thSomewhere near the end of the 18th century, a man named Francis Forster built a large house which he named Northumberland House after the county of his birth. Around 1798 his gardener, when digging behind the house, made the discovery of the Caves. A private entrance was cut and it was during this time that the cave murals were created. According to local folk-lore the pictures were painted by a local artist named Braziere Torture Chambers and Dungeons. Stand in awe at the cave paintings and wonder at the fearful Thanet Giant! All this and much more will amaze you in the Cathedral-like dimensions of the famous Margate Caves. | |||||||||||||||||||||
