Speedwell Caverns’ boats can accomodate approximately 21 people and depart every 20 minutes. Each group is down the cavern for up to one hour. We suggest allowing one hour and 15 minutes for a group of 21, plus 20 minutes for each subsequent group.
Your group is accompanied at all times by a professional guide who will explain the social and industrial heritage of the caverns and lead-mine.
Tours are tailored to meet the needs and abilities of the various age groups, and we can place particular emphasis on any particular features you may be teaching at the time. Please call to discuss your specific needs.
Some special needs pupils can be accommodated, but please call in advance to discuss your individual needs.
School Work Packs can be downloaded from the website or sent by post on request.
