Poole's Cavern

Found deep beneath the limestone hills on the edge of the historic Derbyshire spa town of Buxton. This secret underground world once echoed to the sound of a glacial river that scoured the rock for millions of years.

Above ground complete your day and take a stroll through Buxton Country Park, 100 acres of beautiful sheltered woodland, to Solomon's Temple viewpoint with commanding views of the Peak District from the summit of Grin Low at 1400 feet above sea level.

For the more adventurous have a go at swinging through the tree tops on Our Go Ape high wire adventure course the only one of its kind in the Peak District.
