If your chosen date is unable to go ahead because of adverse weather conditions (e.g its too windy) another activity will be provided
Come along as planned but do an alternative activity:
- Our famous 45′ Abseil and Gorge Walk
- Our Via Ferrata High Wire Adventure
- Our Nidderdale Caving Experience
Also check out our Facebook Page for updates – and for photos as these activities are also great at night!
Armed with a hard hat, torch and sensible shoes you can explore this little hidden gem which has been here for 10 thousand years, since the last Ice Age. The gorge limestone is so special that it is graded as a SSSI – a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The walk through the caves takes you past lots of attractions that we think are some of the most beautiful and unique parts of the Yorkshire Dales.
