Stump Cross Caverns

Had an absolutely fantastic time at Stump Cross Caverns yesterday evening. The UV cave experience was incredible. The cave is great with the normal lighting, but even better in UV light... I am definitely going to do it again, and highly recommend it! This was followed by an interesting talk by Tom from the Craven Pothole Club, about the excavations on the new chamber. We also had the Yorkshire pudding wrap in the cafe, which was perfect on a grim, rainy day. Everyone was lovely, welcoming and informative. Many thanks, I can't wait to visit again!

Went here with my son for a day out on the weekend. Parking is great, loads of spaces and had no trouble getting a spot. The inside of the building is a big mix of gift shop, cafe and check-in for the cave so it wasnt clear where we should have been going to get booked in. Once we found the check-in we purchased our ticket and the women who served us was incredibly nice and made us feel welcomed and excited to go down below. The cave it’s self it very tight but that is to be expected, there are a had full of seats while your down there if you need to sit down. Side note - don’t wear pants or shoes you don’t want to get dirty, the ground water has lime stone sediment in it so it will leave white marks on your shoes. The gift shop sells an incredible assortment of stones and crystals, it does say they are from the cave and suspect they aren’t. They don’t sell you standard gift shop items such as pens, pins and patches which is a shame because they are what most people collect as a reminder, I was looking to buy all 3 but ended up leaving with no souvenirs. Overall it was a pleasent experience, mainly due to the quality of the cave and the customer service of the staff. The contents of the shop could do with expanding as if you don’t like stones to buy them you don’t have anything to buy essentially.

'Dont forget to duck' being 5'10" im glad they make you use an helmet. That being said, the kids (10 and 3) loved it. Fantastic walk around the cave. We finished up by having food in the cafe. And wow, was the food delicious. I had a bacon and sausage sandwich then saw my wife's hotdogs and went back for one too. Stunning food. I'd travel another 1h35m just for the food

Fantastic trip out for several hours on a stormy weekend. There was ample parking and the shop/cafe entrance area was incredibly inviting with a warm fire, a great array of souvenirs and delicious food. The carverns were wet (as expected) with a few drips but hard hats provided kept the head dry. They were great to explore with a lovely trail for little ones to do as you walked around. Some fascinating formations, well worth a visit!

Such an incredible and unique experience! We loved the caves - they are breathtaking. Lovely little caffe and a great gift shop too! The staff are great and helpful. Definitely plan in advance how you will get here - if you are relying on public transport it would be best to sort that out first before booking! Great for an array of ages although some spaces can be quite tight and you have to bend over quite a bit (I’m about 5’5) - so that is just something to keep in mind. However for all who are fit and able, I highly recommend a visit :)
