Tours start on time. Allow plenty of time to travel and park in Castleton, especially so at weekends and school hols. If you miss your tour, we cannot guarantee transferring you to a later tour that day. There will be no refunds.
Well behaved dogs are welcome on a short lead.
We are not connected to a mains water supply, so we have no toilet facilities at the cavern.
The tour is fairly undemanding on foot. There are a few steps with hand rails. Nothing too steep. The floor can be wet and uneven in places. The temperature is a chilly 9°c inside the cave. We have one small 30m section of cave where you will need to bend over to navigate through. Unfortunately wheelchairs and pushchairs can’t be taken beyond the cavern entrance. We are happy to advise you. Please call the cavern if you have any questions.
