Caving in Wales, the Brecon Beacons, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and The Forest of Dean

Caving

Wales and the Brecon Beacons are fantastic places to go caving. Anywhere where there is limestone rock there is the possibility of  finding caves, and Wales and the Brecon Beacons have loads of limestone just full of caves.  Even less mountainous regions such as Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and The Forest of Dean have brilliant caves just waiting to be explored.

If you have never tried caving you must give it a go. There is the initial thrill of fear of the unknown but once below ground there is an element of stillness and tranquility that cannot be experienced anywhere else. In Wales and the Brecon Beacons you can go caving in cave systems both wet and dry that have huge caverns and features that that will surprise and amaze.

This is a fantastic group bonding activity and is particularly popular with groups of friends, stag parties  and hen parties. It is also really good for management training with people who need to experience teamwork and group dynamics.  Caving is completely different from most people’s expectations and we find that if you try it you will really enjoy it.

 

Caving: Your Questions Answered.

What is caving all about?

Caving or potholing is the underground exploration of natural  shafts and caverns. These caves have been formed thousands or even millions of years ago and can contain all sorts of beautiful and fascinating features.  Caves are graded 1 - 5 with grades 1 and 2  being suitable for beginners.

Who can go caving?

Caving in Wales and the Brecon Beacons is suitable for all ages and abilities.  If you have certain requirements we can find a cave to suit you and your group. So whether you want big wide passages, and some fun easy going  or small tight squeezes to wriggle through then we've got the caves for you. 

What will we be doing while we are caving?

After you are dressed up in your caving suit and have checked your lamp we head off to the cave.  In Wales and Brecon Beacons there are often car parks near the most popular caves so you do not have too walk far.  Other caves especially in Gloucestershire and the Forest of Dean might have you walking for a short distance to get there.  Once at the entrance you will decide who will lead the way first, and in you go.  The leader will change regularly to allow everyone to experience the excitement of finding the way through the cave system.  While you are traveling through he caves you will have the opportunity to try some more tricky challenges which are often given names by the cavers such as The Keyhole or The Ironing Board.
