A hidden gem, caving and potholing is great a activity for both summer or winter as the temperature underground remains constant throughout the year. Caving and potholing is usually run as a half day session and lends itself well to being combined with a half day climbing or coasteering. Explore miles of natural passages and caves, kitted out with helmets, lamps and all the equipment you need.
The caves we use have 3600 feet of passages and offer routes of different heights, widths, and difficulty. Your instructor will choose a caving route that suits your ability and comfort levels. There are caving routes that even the claustrophobic will be able to handle, or we can have you squeezing through unbelievably tight holes and crawling through narrow passages, it's all up to you. Depending on conditions caving also offers the opportunity to try a simple sump - where you exit one chamber by diving under water, pull yourself through a hole, and emerge in a different chamber.
Choose from one of the popular caving itineraries below or visit one of our other sites specific to you:

Our superb Wye Valley canoeing trips combine nature spotting and bushcraft with a canoeing journey on the stunningly beautiful river Wye in south Wales. Lasting between three and seven days, these canoeing trips can include as much bushcraft and campcraft skills as you can learn as well as several other activities, such as climbing, caving and moorland walking.
These action packed multi-activity weekends in Devon are ideal for groups, parties, birthdays, special events as well as stag and hen weekends. Larger groups can pack as many of whichever activities they choose into the two days, whilst smaller groups and couples can choose from one of our scheduled multi-activity weekends (Link). Activities available include kayaking and canoeing, climbing and abseiling, campcraft and bushcraft, coasteering, caving, archery and rifle shooting and more.
