More about this Workshop/Service and the Provider
White Scar Cave enjoys a magnificent setting in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Young visitors are introduced to the science and wonder of the subterranean world. The cave walk covers one mile, ensuring that learning is combined with exercise! There are underground streams and waterfalls, flowstone, prehistoric mud pools, and the huge Battlefield Cavern adorned with thousands of stalactites. Paths and lighting have been installed throughout, making the visit suitable for pre-school through to university level.
WHAT SIZE GROUPS DO WE CATER FOR?
Minimum 12 – large groups will be split for the cave walk. (Please note: if your group has fewer than 15 paying visitors, your guide may also be escorting other visitors.)
PRICES
The discounted admission prices for groups of 12+ paying visitors are child £6.50 and student (16+) £8.00.
WHAT DOES A TYPICAL EDUCATIONAL VISIT INCLUDE?
Upon arrival, visitors are fitted with hard hats. The guide leads the group a short way into the cave for introductory remarks and the safety briefing. The cave walk then proceeds, with stops for presentation of points of interest, and questions. Please advise us of your specific requirements, so that your pupils enjoy a truly rewarding experience.
WHAT CAN WE PROVIDE YOU WITH TO SUPPORT YOUR SCHOOL TRIP OR EDUCATIONAL VISIT?

We help promote the Country Trust education charity, which is dedicated to bringing alive the working countryside for those children least able to access it.
