Description
The Grand Tour
In 1989 an article in Descent described a figure-of-nine trip through Swildon’s Hole on Mendip. Now, another classic route has been forged in this ever-popular cave: the Grand Tour, taking in all the parts that have made it justly famous, from the squalor of Priddy Green Sink and Cowsh Aven to the ripples of the streamway.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR EU CUSTOMERS
On 1 July 2021 the EU removed all exemptions for tax and customs duty on low-value items posted from the UK to the EU, meaning that although VAT is 0% on books and magazines in the UK, it is charged within the EU and the VAT (potentially plus a handling fee) now applies to all orders to the EU.
All small publishers in the UK are now in the same position – we are unable to post any items to the EU with VAT or other duties paid.
When ordering any item from Stalactite Publishing, including a Descent subscription, you accept responsibility for paying the VAT and any other local charges on delivery.
Stalactite Publishing is not able to cover any charges levied by your country; it is your responsibility to accept these when placing an order.
We apologise for this situation, but please understand that it is outside our control.
