How To Find Us |
We are running an exciting caving activity suitable for all ages from 5yrs upwards; why not take the children on a real adventure or if you are an adult with a yearning for adventure, but haven't tried caving, then this is your chance; go off the public pathways and experience the mine just as the miners left it, sometimes centuries ago.
This is a Semi Deep Level trip where you are taken on a tour of the show caves and then wearing our helmets and lamps you will do a simple caving activity into areas only possible by tackling crawls called 'The Letter Box' (you'll see why) and 'The Polo' (because it's cool and does have a small hole in the middle!). This is a two hour activity.
