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.
