About this activity
Peak Cavern, also known as The Devil's Arse, is a spectacular cave system located in the picturesque village of Castleton in Derbyshire, England. This magnificent natural wonder is over 200 feet high and boasts the largest natural cave entrance in the country. It has been a popular tourist attraction for centuries, attracting visitors from all over the world.
The cavern tour is the main attraction at Peak Cavern, and it's easy to see why. Visitors can explore the winding underground passageways, see the ancient stalactites and stalagmites, and learn about the fascinating history of the cave system. The tour lasts approximately 45 minutes and is led by an experienced guide who will provide plenty of interesting facts and stories about the cave's past.
One of the highlights of the tour is the Great Cave, which is over 400 feet long and 100 feet high. The cave is home to a natural amphitheatre, which was once used as a venue for concerts and performances. Today, it's still used for special events, such as weddings and other celebrations.
Another popular feature of the tour is the Devil's Staircase, a steep and narrow staircase that leads visitors up to the top of the cave entrance. From here, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and get a sense of the scale and grandeur of the cave system.
