General Tour Information
Cavern Visits
Due to the current government covid safety guidelines, tours of Treak Cliff Cavern are currently guideless, using a phone app (with our very own Vicky Turner as narrator). You can find the app and all information on the booking page. We have staff on hand both in and out of the cave to help with any questions you may have.
Please try to arrive on time, if you are late for your appointed time slot, we will endevour to get you in to the cave on the next available slot.
From July 24th it is a legal requirement that visitors wear a face mask in our gift shop.
From July 25th the Cafe is open for take-away only, and there are currently no picnic tables available.
Please note: Our toilets are open to customers and patrons only!
Early bird admissions are at 9.10am, 9.20am, 9.30am, 9.40am, 9.50am.. These admissions have a 20% discount, if you are late for your slot then we will endevour to get you in to the cavern on the next available slot, although visitors will be expected to pay the full admission price.
Clothing and footwear
The underground temperature is 10°C (50°F) so we advise that you wear suitable clothing. The cavern floor is constantly wet due to the natural underground environment; therefore suitable footwear must be worn within the underground area. Please be aware that the most ‘sensible’ footwear can cause an individual to slip.
Accessibility
Due to the natural contours of the hillside above and below ground, the cavern is not suitable for wheelchairs. Walking disabled can be accommodated. Please phone 01433 620571 or email us for further information to see how we can help. Our Risk Assessment also provides more detailed information.
Dogs
Dogs are welcome but they must be kept on a lead.
