GB Caves is a protected cave system, protecting our caves systems from the public not only preserves the caves systems but helps to educate the public in taking care when caving. We do not take public caving trips through GB Caves, only specialised permitted trips can take place here by professional cavers.
G.B. Cave, has a length of 1950 meters, and a depth of 134 meters.
A stream runs down the main passages into a very large chamber with a 12 meter waterfall.
Lots of climbs and a natural rock bridge leads to a stunning view point looking down to the main chamber.
This cave was dug into in 1939 by Charles Baker and francis Goddard.
The caves you will visit started out three hundred million years ago, as shells and skeletal remains and other sediments at the bottom of a warm and shallow sea. As the planet changed over millions of years, and earth movements covered and pushed the land up into mountains, the huge pressure and stresses formed the rock, we call limestone. Water has now carved its way over time, to produce a strange and exhilarating playground, for us lucky enough to be able explore them.
