Gorge Walking and Canyoning in Yorkshire
Scramble and Swim in a Fresh Water Ghyll
Experience Day in the Eastern Yorkshire Dales
Explore an ancient gorge, carved out over millions of years in the heart of Yorkshire. Water twists and turns its way through smooth limestone channels, cascading over waterfalls and running down natural chutes.
You’ll be jumping, scrambling, swimming and boulder hopping into exhilarating rapids and clear waters.
Submerged into nature, we’re well away from roads, buildings and people, this truly is one of Yorkshire’s hidden gems.
While gill scrambling you will be provided with all of the essential safety equipment, the jumping, climbing and swimming are optional and there are options to walk around these obstacles. There are no tight squeezes or caves to go through.
We have showers and changing facilities on site.
After boulder hopping your way up the gorge why not continue the adventure with a half-day of rock climbing, abseiling or caving?
