Caving

The Cave System is a man-made structure for use by people aged from 5 years upwards.

The system has been built in the shape of a wheel. The outer rim is nice and easy, and the spokes joining the rim to the hub area are where the various features of the system are lurking...

Features that have been given nicknames such as 'The S Bends', 'The Squeeze', 'The Squeeze Backwards', 'The Balcony', 'The Dead End', 'The Plank', 'The Keyhole', 'The Slide' and for the more adventurous, our water feature, 'The Sump'!

At the centre of any wheel is the 'hub'. The hub is a large chamber through which all users pass, several times and at various levels, in their journey through the system.
