Discover the excitement and adventure of exploring some of the natural cave systems in the Mendips and Devon. Under the expert leadership of your Somerset Adventures instructor you will walk, crawl and scramble around one of the classic caves of the region. Bring your family for a day out with a difference. Caving is a great adventure for all types of groups and individuals. You may even discover the hobby of a lifetime!
Here are some of the caves that we visit regularly, but we also have lots more to choose from so there is always something new when you come again!
Goatchurch Cavern is a wonderful cave in Burrington Coombe, on the Mendips near Cheddar. This is a dry cave and offers a selection of walking passages as well as plenty of smaller wriggling passages for the adventurous! A great cave for beginners.
Pridhamsleigh Cavern is a gloriously muddy cave situated near Ashburton, on the edge of Dartmoor. Descend through a series of wonderful passages and caverns to the edge of an underground lake.
Swildon’s Hole is in Priddy on the Mendips, near Cheddar. This cave offers both wet and dry passages and some fine formations to admire. Follow the stream as it carves its way underground through the cave and admire the natural beauty of the rock sculpted by water over millions of years.
Sump 1 trip in Swildon’s Hole. This is a longer trip taking in excess of 4 hours underground and is thus best suited for those who have been on at least one previous caving trip. The trip down to sump 1 in Swildons is a classic trip that takes you deeper into the cave following the streamway down waterfalls and pools. This section of the cave is well decorated with flowstone and wonderful formations. A sporting trip for the physically fit and agile.
