Caving is a very popular activity with our visitors. We travel for the day over to the Yorkshire Dales where there is a vast range of caves from fantastic introductory caves to some very technical caves for experienced cavers.

With our beginner groups we tend to use the Ribblehead caves or Long Churn in the Alum pot system, which is quite probably the most interesting and varied introductory cave in the country. 

There are easy walking stream passages with dry oxbows( offering more of a challenge to the adventurous members of the group) as well as pools to traverse, waterfalls to ascend and the infamous ‘Cheesepress' squeeze. Whatever the size or ability of the individual, Longchurn can offer a challenge and experience that they will never forget.

Caving is undertaken throughout the year under the supervision of qualified and experienced staff. Lanehead is lucky to have a CIC on the staff and all staff leading groups in the caves will be qualified to at least LCL Award.
