Welcome

We are the
Chelsea Spelaeological Society

Come caving with CSS

Most of our current members live across the South of England and South Wales where we have a cottage adjacent to the Mynydd Llangattock limestone massif. This has some of the longest and largest caves in the country with 65+ kms of explored passages.

See our current Events and Trips Calendar.

Visit our local caves

With world class caves right on our doorstep, each offering classic trips of varying length and complexity, there's plenty to keep both beginner and experienced cavers occupied.

Are you new to caving?

CSS welcomes new members, offering them the opportunity to make new friends and to learn new skills, exploring the underground world one cave at a time.
