treak cliff cavern印象

We went to this cavern this afternoon which was very cold, bleak and wet!. There's a steep path and steps leading to a not very inviting reception area (it's being refurbished!) but what it lacked in first impressions it totally made up in the wonderful staff and the great welcome we received (and the best cup of tea I think I've ever had!!!). We were taken round by Katie who was so knowledgeable and friendly, she pointed out various things that she'd seen in the rock formations which we found very amusing. The cave is remarkable and I loved the way that the lights are put on the various exhibits as you get there which adds to the wow factor. All in all, a very interesting, amusing, incredibly beautiful thing to see. And huge thanks to Katie!

I have visited most of the local caverns/mines this was a bit of both. Natural cave linked with mine workings. Visible on the tour stalagmites and tites! The best bit for me was seeing Blue John Veins and Crystal formations in the rock. Parking can be an issue there are places to park at the side of the road, these are chargeable at weekends. However pick a quiet day and you can get your car in a layby at the bottom of the steps. Worth looking before parking lower down cos you will be tired enough going up the steps without walking up the road as well.

Quite a shock when I stood at the bottom of the steps leading to the mine entrance not for the asthmatic, or anyone with mobility or health issues. This was not the only climb once inside a further substantial climb, through a narrow tunnel, upwards into the hill. Once there we all had a pleasant experience lots of nice singing, although it could have been another 15 minutes longer. Santa visited for the few children there. Leaving was easier through a side door out into the fresh air down a winding path for mincepies and mulled wine. Although I enjoyed my visit, due to the effort needed by this ageing traveller, I will not be doing it again.

We visited the cavern after looking up the Blue John mines online. The path up to the cavern is rather steep but well worth the effort! We weren't expecting it to be busy as it was a weekday morning during term time but we found that it was a very popular day for school trips and reluctantly joined a class of primary school children on their tour. We had no need to worry, the tour guide was very good and obviously knew what she was talking about, and made sure she had time to come and talk to us and give us a bit more info. The cavern itself is amazing, could have spent much longer down there given the chance. The Blue John is really visible inside and the stalactites are also pretty spectacular!

Well organised and worth experiencing, however a couple of changes would improve the event. A small brass band, one or two players and a small choir would be good. We found some of the carols were quietly sung, needed a choir to boost the volume levels

Our guide was v enthusiastic, kids aged 7 and 4, enjoyed it too, we asked to do stone polishing which the kids enjoyed, gift shop quite cheap too. Cafe being refurbished but can still get a drink. About £25 for family of 4, free for under 5s, a little pricey. Fun for an hour or two.

When we saw the advertisement for Carols in the Treak Cliff Cavern, it would be assumed that one would hear carols sung by a small choir, and not one guy who cant sing with a squeeze box. Not worth the £10 at all. Also not suitable for disabled or elderly persons, which is not made clear anywhere. There is a disabled car park at the cavern, but im sure this is rarely used because once you arrive at the car park the steep steps become immediately obvious.

Quite an interesting trip, but just found it very expensive for what it was, just short of £25 for two adults and a child for a visit that lasted about 40 minutes

You have to like this place, Castleton is the only place in the world that you can get Blue John stone.....Imagine that. Wonderful insight.

We really enjoyed our trip down the Treak Cavern. Although the guided tour was quite short, the caverns were breathtakingly beautiful, and our guide was friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. I would have liked to have had the chance to learn even more, as it was such a fascinating place, perhaps more information in the visitor centre might be possible?Thank you for a lovely afternoon, I would definitely recommend a visit here!
