If the bosses of Wookey Hole Caves are to be believed, the Somerset tourist attraction has been the victim of graffiti vandals today.
The site in the Mendip Hills has been sending out progressive press releases throughout the day, claiming that an unknown artist abseiled into to caves and sprayed a host of art work on a tunnel that leads into them.
Several news media have reported on the ‘attack’, including ITV News, This Is The West Country and radio station Heart.
