If you know someone who’d rather be climbing rocks than unwrapping socks, this Caving, Abseiling and Zip Line Experience is the perfect gift!
Tucked beneath the stunning Mendip Hills in Somerset lies one of the UK’s most breathtaking cave complexes, and this multi-award-winning underground experience lets you explore it like never before. Led by expert guides, it’s a full-on, adrenaline-pumping day of abseiling, climbing, crawling and zip-lining your way through ancient rock formations and rarely seen chambers.
You’ll kit up in full gear, overalls, helmet, head torch and all, then prepare to descend into the depths below. Once inside, you’ll be met with an incredible world of narrow passages, vast caverns, and rare geological features that most visitors never even get to see.
Whether you’re clambering up rock faces, squeezing through hidden tunnels or flying across a zip line, this is a proper adventure from start to finish. Along the way, your guide will share fascinating stories and facts about the caves’ history, formation and unique environment.
Everything’s included, so there’s nothing to worry about except embracing the challenge and having the time of your life. It’s suitable for anyone with a sense of adventure and a reasonable level of fitness.
Give the gift of excitement, exploration and unforgettable memories, all waiting underground in Somerset.
Who is this experience suitable for?
This experience is not for the faint-hearted, this physically and psychologically challenging experience is only suitable for active, capable, adventurous explorers who are at ease with rigorous exercise, enclosed spaces, heights, climbing, abseiling, crawling and who have good leg and upper body strength. All adventurers must be physically fit.
What do I need to wear?
As the caves are naturally wet and the floor can be uneven in places, we recommend sensible footwear. We would not recommend flip flops, high heels or bare feet.
A sensible base layer which allows you to move freely (e.g. leggings and long sleeve top). Jeans are not suitable. Make sure you wear clothes you don’t mind getting dusty or damp.Â
It is a good idea to bring a change of clothes (just in case of bad weather).Wellies are standard caving footwear and we recommend you wear these, however well fitting walking boots are also fine. Don’t wear your best trainers!
Long hair needs to be tied up. Hairnets are available (free of charge). Anyone with masses of hair (braided, dreadlocked etc.) which stops a helmet being properly fitted might not be able to participate.
The temperature is a constant 11° Celsius in the caves.
