The view from a vantage point above the caves. The image clearly shows the raised floodplain of the river, and also the terrace effect in the foreground arising from lowered water levels following the subsidence of riverwater after the last ice age. Looking downstream, the far bank of the river (in shade) consists of sandstone cliffs and steeply wooded slopes. Nowadays, when in full spate, the river is unlikely to rise enough to reach the gorse bushes visible along the right hand banking.
