Caves
Additional Notes:
»
The location of the caves where this was filmed hasn't been verified yet, but directions to it were found on a caving site: "take the path uphill on the right, signposted 'Countryside Centre'. At the fence do not go right, to the Countryside Centre, but continue left, uphill. At the next cross path continue ahead and at the blue marked post do not turn right but keep ahead uphill (north and then north-west), to the cave entrance where the path swings south-west to join the main forestry road."
