Come face to face with our cave dwelling ancestors in our archaeology exhibition and have a go at ‘digging the past’ yourselves.

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 BCA’s beautiful country park, with woodland walks and sculpture trails. Summit Grinlow Hill to the Solomon’s Temple viewpoint, with panoramic views of the Peak District. For a more extreme experience try the forest High wire adventure course on GO APE.

Taste the Peak in the Cavern café with homemade cakes, cookies & scones baked daily. Hot meals, light bites, local coffee and artisan teas served all day; made with local fresh produce. Eat in and enjoy watching the birds visiting our bird feeders. We also have outdoor picnic areas on-site or visit our shop brimming with local gifts and gemstones of the world.
