The Blue John Caverns

Last Visited: 1992
There are four caverns in the Castleton area: the Blue John Cavern, the Treak Cliff Cavern, the Speedwell Cavern and the Peak Cavern. The first three are all around the Winnats Pass; Peak Cavern is just outside Castleton itself (underneath Peveril Castle, in fact).
Speedwell cavern sticks in the memory as it is accessed by an underground boat trip along an old mine adit. Not something you get to do everyday!

I know, it's only HTML - apart from the video - but I like it.

Presumably Peak Cavern was a bit too boring. Admission Times & Prices, but not a lot else.

Scarily similar to the Devil's Arse site. For some reason its not called Devil's Large Intestine
