About Go Below

Go Below Underground Adventures specialise in personally guided authentic expeditions in abandoned slate mines in Snowdonia. Underground trips start from £59 per person.

Our original ‘Challenge’ trip is designed to test your nerve on a 5-hour adventure which involves journeying through a fascinating subterranean environment. You'll propel yourself through an old mine by abseiling, zip-lining, boating, scrambling and climbing a waterfall in an experience that will leave you feeling elated and exhilarated. Our trip leaders are passionate about the mining industry and its history and can impart a wealth of information and show you ancient artefacts still sitting where the last miners left them. This adventure trip starts from our base at the Conwy Falls near Betws-y-Coed and is suitable for adventurers aged 10 years and upwards.

Think you’re up for a bigger challenge? The 6-hour long ‘Hero Xtreme’ trip takes place in the largest and deepest slate mine in the world! This challenging route crosses zip lines and bridges over gaping chasms, follows ancient ledges and walkways past lofty drops and navigates ladders on towering chamber walls. It passes over deep water, up and down time-worn miners’ stairways, past old and derelict machinery and buildings. Participants can stop for lunch on the infamous Xtreme Picnic Bench (little more than a few planks of wood bolted to the side of a 120ft high chamber wall!) before the journey eventually reaches a depth of over 1,300ft – that’s the deepest publicly accessible point in the UK! This adventure trip starts from our base in Tanygrisiau and is suitable for ages 14 and upwards.
