Why Cave?
Caving is unusual because it has no spectators - there is only
one way to find out why thousands of enthusiasts venture
underground every week - to try it and see! You will find beauty,
excitement and challenge hidden in the permanent darkness beneath
your feet. You may also find out why caving is such an appealing
activity for young people - because it's fun!

Where We
Operate
We are based in the Mendip Hills of Somerset but we can instruct
sessions in all the major caving areas of Britain - Yorkshire,
Derbyshire, South Wales and the Forest of Dean.
Types
of Session
We offer a
great variety of sessions to suit groups of varying experience.
For beginners two options are possible - a single 2 hour session
or our very popular Beginners Day which includes two quite
different caves.
Single
Session
This is a visit to Goatchurch Cavern - an interesting dry cave.
An easy walk along the entrance passage leads to a complex of
chambers, crawls and climbs. There are some tight squeezes but
easier alternatives exist for the less adventurous. The cave
contains some interesting historical and geological features
giving the session an educational content.
Beginners Day
This starts
with a morning in Goatchurch and then moves on to the famous
Swildon's Hole at Priddy. This is the longest Mendip cave system
and offers a great variety of routes. There are waterfalls, large
chambers and many spectacular stalactite formations. Generally
the passages are large and easy, but there are some wet and
exciting climbs to scale. A great day out that you won't forget!
Up and Under
Day
Why not combine a single caving session with a half day of abseiling?
Get the best, and the thrills, of both worlds. Prices as per double
session.
