The Experience
For a first really adventurous trip underground it is a good idea to book on to a guided trip. This will see you properly equipped and in experienced hands.
Long Churns is always a popular choice with its stream passages and fantastic features such as Dr Banisters Hand Basin, The Font, and The Cheese Press. You will also get to see the dramatic entrance to the shaft of Alum Pot, and where the stream disappears to crash down Diccan Pot. However, there are many more options to choose from.
Slightly more advanced trips can see you abseiling or climbing a ladder as part of the exploration.
Caving is a truly memorable experience and gives you the opportunity to see the hidden side of our limestone areas.
Have a go
Caving is a year round activity. The cave temperature stays at 8oC all year round. Get some friends together and book yourself on to a trip. You will need some warm clothes and a pair of wellies or walking boots. You will be supplied with an oversuit and helmet and light.
Trips are for up to 8 people so the more there are the less it costs.
