Pridhamsleigh Cavern

Pridhamsleigh Cavern

Pridhamsleigh Cavern is a cave on the outskirts of Buckfastleigh, Devon, England. It is approximately 1.1 kilometers in length with a total depth of just over 50m including Prid II.

Pridhamsleigh is a good site for novice cavers although it is quite muddy. It has a large variety of passages which lends itself to longer explorations. Due to the nature of the connecting and non connecting overlapping passages in the cave, surveys(maps) of the cave are hard to interpret. The cave contains 'The Lake', a large elongated pool, which has been dived to discover a second chamber, with no passages leading off it. This chamber is the biggest in Devon.
