Unforgettable adrenalin adventures: off the beaten track in the Yorkshire Dales

Alum Pot caving experience

Calling all adventurers! For those who are keen to explore spectacular new worlds, caving in Alum Pot is a fantastic day out.

​Descending over 100m below ground, cavers get the opportunity to discover a magical sub-terrain world carved into the limestone that few others have been lucky enough to experience.


Starting from Long Churns cave, there are abseils down waterfalls and a squeeze through the famous ‘cheese-press’ on the journey through some of the biggest underground caverns in the world. The walls are covered with fascinating formations in the rocks, including stalactites formed over thousands of years.

​Swimming through underground rivers and pools, adventurers approach the grand finale: Alum Pot. Here, the mist from the waterfall dancing in the shards of sunlight from high above creates a real sense of magic as it’s time to make the final ascent and climb back out of the mountainside. An unforgettable experience!

Rock climbing adventure at Twistleton Scars

For those who prefer adventures above ground and in broad daylight, then a day out rock-climbing at Twistleton Scars could be the perfect thing! Under the watchful eye of Yorkshire’s second highest peak, Ingleborough, climbers will be challenged to reach new heights. Qualified instructors will ensure that the amount of challenge is just right to ensure it is a safe, yet always exhilarating, day of adventure. The bird’s eye view of the surrounding area from the top, littered with its unique limestone formations, will make the challenge all worthwhile!

There are opportunities to climb and abseil, and the day will be tailored around the needs of the group. Whether complete beginners or more experienced climbers, this is a great day out for all the family to enjoy.

Lost Earth Adventures is an outdoor adventure company that provides many exciting activities throughout the Yorkshire Dales and you can read more about this and more adventures on their website.
