The Caynton Caves
The Caynton Caves have been particularly sealed – or so they thought – until they were rediscovered years later with a special twist in Shifnal. Folklore enthusiasts believe that the Knights Templar once lived in this cavern in the 17th Century. However, history says otherwise, which debunks this belief. One thing’s for sure – this cave has a story worth telling.

Unaccompanied Skull
A group of archeologists discovered something rather shocking in the Marcel Loubens Cave back in 2015. They found the skull of a woman aged between 24 to 35 years of age, from roughly 3630 to 3380 B.C. While it’s fairly common in Europe’s Copper Age to bury the dead in caves, her skull wasn’t accompanied by any other bones. According to a publication, natural causes can be the root for the skull making its way to the cave’s floor.
