Supposedly of very ancient origin these unique caves were extended in the 1740’s by the infamous Sir Francis Dashwood, founder of the notorious Hellfire Club. His aim was to provide an extraordinary addition to his landscape gardens, no doubt inspired by his Grand Tours of Europe and the Ottoman Empire.

Many of his fellow dilettantes were building great Estates and landscaping gardens and temples above ground but no others dared venture underground in this way. The chalk was used to build the main road from West Wycombe to High Wycombe. This also provided employment to the Villagers of West Wycombe following a succession of harvest failures. The achievement is a true feat of engineering and quite remarkable considering they were all dug by hand. You can still see the individual pick axe marks on the walls.

Hundreds rush towrds the camera at Hell Fire caves. They were moving against the air-flow current.

Some of the ghosts that are reputed to haunt the caves are members of the club, a women named Sukie, the legend goes that she went to meet her lover dressed in a wedding gown, but it was a practical joke and she was met by a gang of lads, who stoned her to death, and also strange noises have been heard.

This image shows an apparition walking at the end of one of the tunnels at Hell Fire caves. It has been lightened and the contrast changed to show the image more clearly.
