Whitchers Cave

The main Whitchers Cave is an open shelter with some rocks paintings, including a tortise. There is another, smaller cave above with more paintings.

Although this cave does not hold much spelaeological interest, the setting up the side of the river valley is fantastic. The early inhabitants really knew how to pick a beautiful place to stay.
