Description:

The Blue John Cavern at Castleton in the Peak District is world famous. It is home to 8 of the 14 known varieties of Blue John stone. Minerals have been mined here for centuries and continues to be in the winter months.

The tour of the cavern commences with the descent of a short flight of steps through a man-made passageway some fifteen yards in length, and from the foot of this stairway visitors pass into the beginning of the natural caverns. From this point on the awe-inspiring majesty of the Caverns can be appreciated.

Located in Castleton, Blue John Cavern is around 1 hour and 15 minutes from Manchester by coach.
