About
Go Below is an award-winning, family-owned business offering authentic underground adventures, whatever the weather.
Experience exciting half and full day underground trips through abandoned mines located in the Heart of Snowdonia. We have 4 unique adventures ranging in difficulty and thrill level. No experience necessary, no potholing or squeezing through small gaps.
Our Go Below Challenge trip (10+) is a 5-hour experience, journeying through a fascinating subterranean environment. You will encounter ancient artefacts, boat across forgotten deep blue lakes, climb rock faces, and abseil off ledges with the help of our highly experienced guides.
For those wanting to push themselves further, our Hero Xtreme trip (14+) is 6 hours of exploring the largest and deepest slate mine in the world! Test your physical and mental ability whilst navigating through exhilarating traverses, bridges and zip-lines, with a chance to take a break on our Xtreme picnic bench, which hangs off a huge cliff face!
For the optimum bucket-list adventure, push yourself to the limit on our 7-hour Ultimate Xtreme trip (18+). Whether you’re a regular adrenaline junkie or want to brave it and overcome your fears, our Ultimate Xtreme trip is a world class unique underground adventure featuring challenging climbs including the 'corkscrew', multiple zip-lines, the world’s only underground free fall and the world’s longest and deepest underground zip ride: 'Goliath’.
For a mammoth 14-hour adventure, tackle 'Mine to Mountain' - The Ultimate Ascent. It's a true test of endurance and stamina taking you 1,375ft underground to the deepest accessible point in the UK and then ascending to the summit of Snowdon, the highest mountain in England and Wales, all in one epic day!
Just when you thought our underground trips couldn't be any more exciting, check out our latest award winning epic adventure: Deep Sleep, the deepest underground accommodation in the world! Descend to a staggering 1,375 vertical feet below the mountains of Snowdonia to discover the cosy cabins and romantic grotto awaiting you at the bottom of an abandoned Victorian slate mine. With an adventurous two hour personally guided journey to reach this unique and remote camp experience, this is truly one for the bucket list which will leave you with an incredible sense of achievement.
All our trips are personally led by experienced and passionate guides, who will keep you safe while encouraging you to embrace your thrill-seeking side. Our trip leaders will also show you a glimpse of the slate mine industry and its history through the historic artefacts which can be seen along the way in this untouched authentic environment.

Map & Directions
Road Directions
Conwy Falls Base - Our Conwy Falls Base is located on the A5 trunk road at the junction with the B4406 to Penmachno. It is very easy to get to by car either from the south (by taking the A5 from Telford), the west (the A5 from Holyhead) or from the north by coming down the A470 from The A55 coast road. It is just a couple of miles south of the popular tourist village of Betws-y-Coed. Postcode for Satnav is LL24 0PN.
Tanygrisiau Base - By car, from the large town of Blaenau Ffestiniog take the A496 south out of the town (you'll start seeing brown signs for Tanygrisiau Station already). You'll turn off to the right onto a minor road, then an immediate left towards a lake. There is a large collection of vintage farm machinery in the field by the junction. A couple of hundred yards along the road you will see the Go Below sign on the right. Pull in and park. The Lakeside Cafe is slightly further along the road if you intended to visit there first.
