A world hidden from the surface but full of adventure and challenge for all
Caving is an adventure activity full of challenges and a real opportunity for a feeling of exploration. From simple passageways to great labyrinths. Your journey feels like you’re reaching into the bowels of the earth on a true adventure.
Taking a journey that begun around 365 million years ago during the Carboniferous period we’ll follow the passageways cut through the limestone over tens and hundreds of thousands of years by the underground streams and rivers.
The experience is incredibly rewarding where magical sights, thousands of years in the making, sculpted rocks and the delicate formations are a joy to behold.
The caver may walk, squeeze, climb, and crawl, plunge and wade while ascending and descending through the wonderful spaces left by the cascading water over thousands of years.
For the beginner there is a unique delight waiting to be discovered. For the experienced caver there is a world of subterranean labyrinths to explore.
Basic vertical trips can take place near Kirkby Lonsdale and much of the novice horizontal caving is near the village of Ingleton.
