Poole's Cavern, Buxton

Today we visited one of The First Wonder of the Peak, Poole's Cavern.

To quote the blurb on the website, "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?."

The cavern was officially opened for visitors in 1853, after the enterprising 6th Duke of Devonshire capitalised on its popularity by opening the cavern up for tours.

If you are ever in the area it is well worth a visit. For more information, visit Poole's Cavern website.
