Mitchelstown Cave was discovered, by accident, in 1833. The cave, near Tipperary in Ireland, was discovered by Michael Condon who dropped a crowbat in to a crevise whilst quarrying limestone. He removed a few bolders to retirieve it and found himself looking down in to the cave system.
Guided tours have now been conducted for many years showcasing various staltites, stalcmites and other calcite formations as we went to see a couple of days ago.
Looks like an insteresting cave to venture in.
