Heights of Abraham Cable Cars Caverns and Country Park |
||||||||||
|
The Heights of Abraham is a unique Hilltop Park set on top of a dramatic limestone gorge, amid great natural Beauty. Access is via a Cable Car ride from the valley floor. Your visit will include guided tours down two famous show caverns.
The Great Rutland Cavern depicts the dramatic story of a 17th century lead miner and his family's working day.
The tour in the Great Masson Cavern enables you to experience this spectacular cavern awash with colour from the new state of the art lighting. Enjoy the woodland walks; visit the 'Who+Why=What' exhibition, and the Fossil Factory where visitors have the chance to get up close to the fossilized remains of a giant Ichthyosaur whilst also enjoying a film presentation about the Heights' own showcaves. Also visit Heath & Heaven, a stunning exhibition of aerial photography - all taken on a single summer's day and showing the beauty of the Peak District.
