Poole’s Cavern & Buxton Country Park – Peak District

Very interesting place to visit (Poole's Cavern) and discover what happens underground. Very friendly staff members, who will teach new things in a fun way and not rush you. Highly recommend going. Buxton Country Park is a joyful walk in the woods up to Solomon's Temple and get a great view of the Peak District.

Great place to visit with a fascinating history dating hundreds of years back to 2nd century AD. If you want a recommendation - go last (4:30pm) as it gives you more time. Our guide was Elliott and he did a great job. As an aside... they are also selling balsa planes which are VERY reasonably priced... a stocking filler for the child that likes to build maybe. This would be a great day out for children aged around ten years old and up. There's a really fun Go Ape here and if you really fancy a thigh buster... go on a walk up to Solomons temple! Fantastic view from the top of the surprisingly small tower. It would be great to have more information points around it though as I'd be fascinated by the history.

If you are into geology then this will be of interest. It was a nice visit but is mainly full of stalactites and stalagmites. Some interesting stories about how the cavern was discovered and cleared. Worth a visit and the children in our tour group seemed to like it. Wanted to give it 3.5 but not sure you can on Google.

Such a great experience when in the Peak District. Very impressive cavern, really engaging tour guide (kept my 7yo very interested!), And easy to access with flat surfaces and only a few steps. Worth walking the country park too, great views at the top from the temple. The kids managed it fine too.

We took our two children aged 4 and 10 and they both really enjoyed the cave. Our guide was friendly and gave us lots of fun information. The tour lasts just under 1 hour and it’s very easy underfoot not lots of steps or uneven surfaces. We would recommend a trip to the cavern with your family.

What a great find. Cool caverns and very friendly staff. They took the time to explain it. Great little cafe and cool shoppe. Also good walks outside. My 6-yr old loved it.

Brilliant place to visit. Vast majority is disabled accessible. Guide even gave us a private tour as we were visiting with a severely disabled visitor. Will definitely be going again, this time to experience the whole attraction. Great little cafe too.

Stumbled onto this when driving through Buxton. I was accompanied by a chap with Alzheimer's who used to Pothole in his younger days. The staff were incredibly helpful, patient, entertaining, and knowledgeable. The manager also took the time to talk to my friend, and it made our day. These people restored my faith in humanity.

Excellent Cavern and Country Park on the edge of Buxton. The tour inside the Cavern is very informative and riveting detailing the history of the Cavern and its geology. The Country Park itself is very picturesque and iydillic with the brilliant Solomon's Temple giving you breathtaking views of Buxton and the surrounding area, which is a delightful. The prices for the admission and car park are reasonable with flexibility to pay for card in the visitor centre for the car park if you do not have cash. Overall a great place to visit and one I would recommend to Cavern enthusiasts.

Great Cavern system we walked up from the town centre through the park. 10-15 min great tour guide (Lucas) gave us loads of history and facts about the carvern which was very interesting. Cafe, shop, toilets 🚻 on site too. After that a stroll to the top of the hill to Solomon temple. Great day out. 👍
