Peak Cavern, Show cave in Castleton, England
Peak Cavern features the largest cave entrance in Britain, with natural limestone formations and underground waterways extending deep into the hillside.
The cave system served as a rope-making workshop from the 1600s to 1900s, with families working and living near the cave entrance.
Local rope makers maintained their craft for generations inside the cave entrance, creating essential materials for lead miners and farmers.
The guided tours operate daily throughout the year, allowing visitors to explore the first sections of the cave system through illuminated passages.
The cave contains a natural acoustical chamber where musicians perform concerts, creating distinct sound experiences in the underground setting.
