Blue John Cavern - Castleton

The children had to be happy to see and learn about the blue john and the mining history. so much fun to go to the cave! there are many steps, but the leaders do not hurry. it is a very sensory experience and you don't have to wear a helmet. take a camera

Great tour from experienced staff who also mine so have some great knowledge and stories of the mines. Tony our guide explained the mine history in detail and the science behind blue Jon mineral and. Be aware there are 245 steps to negotiate in various batches to reach the bottom of the mine and not Suprisingly the same number to get out along with slopes to walk along. The walking is not overly challanging but you need to take care.

Beautiful cave that was formed throughout the ice age. The tourist route takes you as deep as 100 metres below ground. Don't be frightened by steps, they are spreading out evenly, so it is not too difficult. Friendly guides will guide you through carefully and answer all your questions. Must see if visiting Hope Valley!

Amazing cave, lots of steep steps and can be slippery, so hold the hand rail! Don't go if you're not comfortable in small spaces or cant use stairs. It is beautiful, the tour guide is very informative and professional, I'm really glad I went. Wouldn't take my mum or small kids as the stairs would see them off. But of you can go, do go. Absolutely stunning.

The cavern is set into the stunning hills of the Peak District. As you descend the pockets and caverns that man and nature has created, there are some truly wonderful sights to be seen. A small glimpse into a time gone by and well worth every step down (and up).
