Buxton, Derbyshire, England
Description
Poole’s Cavern has attracted curious visitors to this underground treasure house in the High Peak spa town of Buxton for thousands of years. Our Stone Age ancestors sheltered here, Romans concealed gifts to the gods of the underworld and medieval outlaws sought refuge. 17th century explorers named the cavern the ‘Wonder of the Peak’.
Take a Journey beneath the earth with our expert guides, explore the vast Limestone caverns and see how crystal Stalactites and Stalagmites have lined the chambers over millions of years.
Back above ground explore the beautiful country park woodlands and complete your day with a stroll to Grin Low and Solomon’s Temple viewpoint with superb views of the Peak District. Or for a more extreme experience try the forest High wire adventure course on GO APE.
Taste the Peak in the Cavern café with meals or snacks, cakes and coffee served all day. We also have picnic areas and safe play area for children and toddlers.
Come face to face with our cave dwelling ancestors in our new archaeology exhibition and have a go at ‘digging the past’ yourselves.
