Adventure Caving

This is the perfect way to experience Cheddar from a whole different perspective! After all, Cheddar’s not just spectacular on the surface, it’s spectacular underground as well. Suitable for all ability levels, we’ll have you exploring subterranean caverns in no time.

You’ll be led through the admiring guests in Gough’s Cave to start your expedition into the depths of the caves. Switch on your head torch and get ready to feel like you’ve entered a lost world. You’ll need to climb up to the Mushroom Chamber, crawl through the Sand Chamber and descend over 40ft into the heart of the cave system, but don’t worry our expert cavers will be on hand to help you the entire way.

Your route out is just as exhilarating. Don’t look down as you crawl across the Bottomless Pit and slip head first through the Letterbox. You’ll be both proud and muddy when you finish this adventure.

There are two versions of our Caving experiences. Adventure Caving for adults and older children (age 13+), and Junior Caving for younger adventurers (age 8+), which takes a shorter route around the cave, including mostly optional elements.

• Junior Caving is available each day at 10am.
• Adventure Caving sessions run at 12.30pm and 3pm.
