Hey Rhiannon
Tilly Whim Caves near Swanage were originally opened on land owned by a Joseph Tilly. A Whim was an old crane that was used to transport the quarried stone into barge ships at the bottom of the cliffs. The cranes used to be a bit of an eyesore along the coast and the caves became known because of this.
Hope that helps!
