Don't get St Michael's cave and Lower St. Michael's cave confused! We visited St Michael's cave as part of a minibus tour of the upper rock. The leaflet from the tourist info office mentioned that a second cave had been found beneath that, and was called Lower St Michael's cave; according to the tourist info office, Lower St Michael's cave... more
