Underground Adventure Off-Site Caving
Caving Pridhamsleigh.
Caving
Five minutes away from us is Pridhamsleigh Caverns. It is approximately 1.1 kilometres in length with a total depth of just over 50 m.
Pridhamsleigh is a great site for novice cavers. It has a large variety of passages which lends itself to longer explorations, due to the nature of the connecting and non-connecting overlapping passages in the cave.
Perfect for your first caving experience, the activity is suitable for anyone with sufficient mobility. Those of you with a pre-conception of caving as being small tunnels and tight squeezes will be blown away by the caving in South Devon, particularly the church sized Bishop’s Chamber, but if you do like a squeeze then we can always find you a challenge!
How it works:
Your day will start by meeting at the River Dart Country Park. Qualified instructors will get you sized up in cave suits, belts, helmets, and torches. (We do have a range of wellie boots if you don’t have your own)
We will then take a bus down to Prid, where it is a short walk across to the Cave entrance.
You will then enter the cave and have a great adventure exploring the underground world.
