Giant’s Cave
Step Into The Home of Giants
The Giant’s Cave, sometimes known as Ghyston’s Cave or the Foxhole, is a natural cave in the limestone face of St Vincent’s Rocks in the Avon Gorge. For centuries, it was only accessible from the top of the steep sided Gorge, or by a stiff climb up from the base of the cliff. It can now be approached from the inside of Clifton Observatory.
“I really would recommend everyone to visit this place. Surrounding views so amazing, natural beauty. Clifton bridge and the surrounding mountains an experience not to be missed.” – Jordan A, Tripadvisor

A Steep Journey
The journey down to the viewing platform consists of 130 steep steps. The tunnel leading down is 200 feet (61m) long. The cave opens out on the cliff face, 250 feet (76m) above the Avon gorge and 90 feet (27m) below the cliff top.


“Well worth the descent and climb back up as the view of the Avon Gorge and Clifton Suspension Bridge is fabulous once you are out on the viewing platform.” – Dierdre M, Tripadvisor
