Stump Cross is a natural cavern system. While it has been made as easy as possible to get around, some parts are a little tricky to traverse. Keep an eye out for low ceilings, narrow passageways and a few areas with uneven flooring.

That said, there are designated walkways to follow and the caves are well-lit throughout. If you're looking for an unusual day out in Yorkshire and you don't mind a spot of adventure, you'll love every second.

The cavern is naturally narrow and low in areas. There are no lifts and the ground is uneven at times. You should only take the tour if you're confident with tricky terrain.

Wheelchairs, pushchairs and baby back carriers are not permitted in the caverns. 

The caves are a constant 7°C all year round. Please bring warm clothing for your visit. 

Wear warm clothes or you'll get cold. On days where there has been a lot of rain or snow, wellies or waterproof boots are essential.

Hard hats are mandatory for adults and children. These are provided by Stump Cross Caverns.

Only front carriers for infants are allowed. Rucksacks are also forbidden.
