THE Adventure

Discover one of South Devon’s best kept secrets: the stunning Pridhamsleigh Cavern. Bring out your inner explorer in this mystical and muddy underworld.

What to expect

Pridhamsleigh is an ideal site for new cavers, small and tall, with its rich variety of passages, chambers, nooks and waterways. Nestled in an ancient orchard near Dartington, the cave is approximately 1.1 kilometres in length with a total depth of just over 50 metres. Look out for The Bishop’s Chamber, The Lake, The Cheese Press and The Keyhole as your instructor leads you through the maze. Prizes for anyone who spots one of the legendary resident Blind White Cave Shrimps.

  • All ages and abilities welcome
  • A truly weather-proof adventure where ambient temperature is unaffected by the seasons outside
  • Most of the caves has standing room with parts you’ll need to climb through
  • Small child boost: the smaller you are, the bigger your advantage! For once.
  • Like to scare yourself? Plunge into complete darkness as we momentarily switch off all our lights!
  • There’s no toilet or changing facilities at the caves as it’s a natural area
  • All safety equipment included
  • Sessions run by a fully qualified Cave Leader Level 2 (SRT)
  • Under 18s must be accompanied by parent/legal guardian inside the cave

Frequently asked questions

I haven’t got any wellies! Can I still do it?

Arrow down

We have a small number of spare pairs of wellies available so please ask if you need us to look for your size.

Why do I need a change of clothes if I’m in a boiler suit?

Arrow down

Muddy water can still get under the caving suits which is why we recommend you wear rough clothes you don’t mind getting wet and muddy.

When you say muddy, how muddy do you mean?

Arrow down

Very! It’s like a mud bath down there :)

What if I’ve never done it before?

Arrow down

No experience necessary – the instructors will be with you throughout.
