The Heights of Abraham is a unique Hilltop Park set on top of a dramatic limestone gorge, amid great natural beauty. Access is via a Cable Car ride from the valley floor. Your visit will include guided tours down two famous show caverns; The Great Rutland Cavern depicts the dramatic story of a 17th cenury lead miner and his family's working day. The tour in the Great Masson Cavern begins with a short film presentation showing the formation of the cavern before venturing deeper underground.
Woodland walks; interpretive displays including the new 'Who + Why = What' exhibition; play and picnic areas and the Victoria Prospect Tower. Enjoy spectacular views of the Derbyshire Dales whilst having a snack in the newly restyled Hi Café.
