Poole’s Cavern is the most spectacular natural cavern in the Peak District. The cavern is famous for the spectacular and unique crystal formations including the longest stalactite formation in the region. Your expert guide will accompany you on a 45 minute journey through chambers once used as shelter and worship by prehistoric to roman visitors. See the cathedral sized main chamber carved from Limestone by an ancient river and follow safe and accessible walkways through beautifully illuminated passages on a journey deep underground. Back above ground browse through our rock and gem shop and view the archaeological discoveries from the cavern in the exhibition. Due to Covid restrictions we have a reduced cafe with take away drinks and snacks for 2020, lots of picnic tables for visitors. Complete your day with a stroll on our country park woodland trails with animal sculptures to find which lead to Solomon's Temple viewpoint at 439m above sea level and views of the Peak District.
Great place to visit, we had a very knowledgeable guide,the caves are amazing and are lit really well and with the guides torch you can see a lot, a real gem and well worth a visit

Walk in the footsteps of the Ice Age hunter and enter a world of fire and flint. Discover a legacy etched in stone with cave art 10,000 years older than the pyramids, and medieval Witch Marks as a reminder of more superstitious times. Explore life on the edge of the Ice Age world. Creswell Crags features the only authenticated Ice Age cave art in Britain. Stone tools and remains of animals found in the caves by archaeologists provide evidence for a fascinating story of life during the last Ice Age between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago. Robin Hood Cave has more apotropaic Witch Marks than anywhere else in the UK. The unique archaeology, geology, wildlife and fauna have resulted in Creswell Crags being one of the most protected sites in the UK. The beautiful natural landscape is also popular with walkers and boasts a variety of rare species. Visit the museum or book a cave tour. See website for details.
Highly recommended and a brilliant day out, visited as a family and we all thoroughly enjoyed the visit, all the staff were welcoming and helpful, stayed for the full day and enjoyed the walks, exploring and the scenery, we went on the Robin Hood/Ice Age cave tour and this was brilliant, the tour guide who took us was fantastic, really friendly, chatty, very knowledgeable and clearly enjoyed her work and told us all some really interesting facts about the caves and location. Lots of places to sit, great cafe, picnic benches available and the museum has a lot of interesting items/artefacts to look at. We all had a great day out here.

Stunning visitor centre overlooking The Wash which has a cafe providing a great range of snacks and great food. There is also an information centre which runs various events throughout the year. Opening hours are restricted during the winter months and you will need to pay for parking.

78 Derngate is the only house in England designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. It is now a multi award-winning visitor attraction offering an unforgettable day out in Northampton. Designed and remodelled by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1916, the house has been meticulously restored and opened to the public. On site: a boutique restaurant, light-filled art galleries, a stylish design shop and elegant spaces that can be hired for meetings, events and functions. 78 Derngate was the architect's final major commission; his visionary patron, Northampton model engineer, W.J Bassett-Lowke. It is the only place in the world where Mackintosh's mature architectural and interior style can be seen in their original setting. As such, the house has drawn many thousands of visitors from around the globe. Now you can follow in their footsteps and see this unique work from one of Britain's most influential and celebrated designers. Please note: To post a review for The Dining Room Restaurant ( a separate business ) you should search for their separate TripAdvisor page. Thankyou!
We decided to visit 78 Derngate during our visit to the area and was not disappointed. The only house in England designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh has a fascinating history which is brought to life on guided tours by knowledgeable and passionate guides. Following the tour we enjoyed coffee and cake in the tea room (afternoon tea is also available - with or without a tour). Delightful visit - highly recommended!

A beautiful garden that has been revived since 2001. The large stately home was demolished in 1951 and the site abandoned. Now visitors can see the grounds that President Franklin Roosevelt described as 'a dream of Nirvana, almost too good to be true.' Work is still ongoing and the restoration and features of this 400 year garden makes a fascinating trip. We have a good tearoom and are very easy to find off the A1.
A lovely garden which drops down to the river witham.It is Sweet Pea Week for 3 weeks & they are stunning & smell fab.The cafe was open selling hot & cold drinks & yummy cake as take away.A lovely place to while away a couple of hours

Experience the height of the fishing industry of Great Grimsby! A job often described as the 'most dangerous peacetime occupation in the UK', these men literally risked their lives in order to bring home fish to a port described as 'the world's premiere fishing port'. Come and see their story!
A fantastic museum to delight all ages. Great interactive displays which give you an idea of being aboard a trawler. The absolute best bit was the tour of the Ross Tiger trawler by the old Skipper. This was amazing. So interesting. A must do if you are in Grimsby.

A collection of over 50 1950/60s microcars and scooters, archive material Plus loads of memorabilia that take you down memory lane. We also have a tearooms with homemade goodies, a gift shop with lots of toys you thought you had forgotten and a campsite. Whats not to like ?
We spent a nice afternoon visiting here. The staff were very friendly, helpful and polite. Didn't know there were so many different types of bubble cars. It feels like you step back in time when you walk around,very well laid out and the guide book is very informative. Nice little cafe and gift shop Well worth a visit
