Join us in creating memorable experiences for our visitors while working in one of Yorkshire's most
fascinating attractions
Stump Cross Caverns is a family-owned visitor attraction set on Greenhow Hill in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. Discovered in 1860, our underground cave system spans hundreds of millions of years of geological history.
Above ground, we're so much more than a cave. Our café serves everything from light bites to afternoon teas, with views across the Yorkshire Dales. Our crystal shop stocks a carefully curated range of minerals, gems, and fossils. And our ever-growing range of family activities, including geode cracking, gem panning, and interactive workshops, keeps guests of all ages coming back.
We're a small, close-knit team running a genuinely unique visitor attraction in one of Yorkshire's most stunning settings. Whether you're front of house, behind the counter, or greeting guests at the cave entrance, you'll be part of something special.
If you're looking for a role with a difference, in a setting unlike anywhere else, we'd love to hear from you.
