Pridhamsleigh Cavern is a cave on the outskirts of Buckfastleigh. It is approximately 1.1 kilometers in length and reaches 60 meters in height in some passages. 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.

Bakers Pit is the largest in Devon, the passages having a total length of 3.5km. The system is quite complicated in that it consists of chambers and passages at various levels. The cave is still being actively developed by a stream that runs through a part of the system and flows on to the River Dart. The cave system largely runs beneath the church and the churchyard. The cave is used by cavers for sporting purposes and access is controlled by the Devon Cave Rescue Organisation.

Swildon's Hole is an extensive cave in the Mendip Hills. The first recorded exploration occurred in 1901. The cave contains an active streamway, which has caused a highly varied cave system. Areas of the system range from low passages, through which cavers must crawl, to impressive chambers with sheer drops, and from dry fossil passages to thundering waterfalls and its infamous sumps.

Despite its popularity, many calcite formations still remain intact in the farthest reaches of the cave.
