    Wet and Wild Underground

    £27

    Discover some of the mysteries that lie beneath the Peak District. Wet and Wild Underground is a full-day subterranean trip involving walking, crawling and squeezing through one of Derbyshire’s cave systems, with the exact route chosen on the day depending on conditions.

    If you’ve ever wondered what lies beneath your feet on the hills above, this is your chance to find out. For a first-hand account of what a Peak District caving day actually feels like, read Caving into Pressure.

    If a full day underground feels like a lot for a first go, our Beginner Caving Day is the gentler place to start.

    We will email bookings with an update once exact session times have been confirmed.
