Welcome to the Poole's Cavern Website

Poole's Cavern is a 2 million year old, natural limestone cave situated in the beautiful woodland of Buxton Country Park. One of the great caves of the Peak District.

 The cavern has been visited for 5,000 years since Neolithic tribes first used it's chambers as shelter. The cave has been known as 'The First Wonder of the Peak' since the 1600's.  Visitors for the 21st century can enjoy the latest facilities in our new visitor centre, restaurant and exhibition.

Guided tours through Poole's cavern begin every 20 minutes. Our expert guides will lead you on a one hour journey deep into the Peak Districts hidden landscape. The cavern is well lit with good pathways and only 26 steps throughout.
