A hilltop estate in Matlock Bath reached by cable car, with two guided cavern tours through the Great Masson and Great Rutland Caverns featuring surround sound and special effects. The site includes two adventure playgrounds with giant slides and climbing frames, woodland walks with trees over 300 years old, viewing platforms across the Derbyshire countryside, and exhibitions on the venue's 240-year history and the Wombles. The Victoria Prospect Tower, built in 1844, offers 360-degree views from its spiral staircase. Vista Restaurant and Bar sits on the hilltop; a terrace café and picnic spots also available. Most visitors spend three to five hours here.
Open daily from 20th March - 1st November. Great British Summer Savings From 25th June to 1st September.
