• A small but striking natural arch carved by erosion in a gritstone outcrop. • Dimensions: • Span: ~3–4 meters wide • Height: ~2 meters at center • Thickness: ~1 meter • Formed over thousands of years by frost weathering and water seepage along joints in the rock. • Overgrown with moss, ferns, and small trees — blends perfectly into the woodland

Odin Mine is the oldest documented lead mine in Derbyshire, the first recorded mention dating back to 1280. It's likely to pre-date this back as far as Roman, Saxon and even Danish times. The original open-cast workings created a limestone gorge which is now the entrance area. Near the gorge is the Odin Cave, a naturally formed void.

This information is really helpful for who really needs this. I hope you will many more write post like this.. https://www.dogtranslator.net

I would respectfully note that this cave is not the easiest to access. https://delta-exploits.net/

The Delf is a natural valley that runs south from the idyllic Peak District village of Eyam. A short way down it is Cucklet Delf (which I’ve also seen spelt ‘Cucklett’ or ‘Delph’), a beautiful limestone craglet that forms a cavern with two large arches. From 1666, the larger of two archways became the pulpit for the twenty-seven-year-old village rector, William Mompesson. From here, he could preach into the valley and be heard by his congregation, gathered in disparate family groups on the opposite hillside. Throughout the outbreak of the plague, this crag — and, in fact, this whole section of the Delf — became the Cucklet Church.

It’s a fantastic place if you want switch off from the outside World’

Nice Area, be careful going down uneven footing can twist an ankle ( definitely not me )

Nice area just to have a look at and sit inside, there Is warnings of lose stone so be careful.

Lathkill Head Cave is a cavern within the limestone of the gorge that forms Lathkill Dale, in the White Peak area of the Peak District, in Derbyshire. The cave mouth is found to the east of Monyash. In wet weather, the water trickling in innumerable rills into the cave creates a stream gushing forth from its mouth to form the River Lathkill, whence the name of the cave. In dry weather the headwater of the river is formed from the springs a little below. The rocks here are fissured and complex. Cavers have found a number of entrances into the cave which are explored by the fearless.

Also referred to as Cucklet Church - this is the site that was used as an alternative to the Village church during the plague outbreak of 1665.

Such a beautiful walk dottted with an industrial history

The normal path is closed till 2026 so a trek along the edge was our favoured route,bit duct for the younger or faint hearted but most e joys le from my end

Not to be confused with the other Deep Dale, 4 miles (6.4 km) to the east near Sheldon, this Deep Dale is a short, yet steep-sided limestone gorge not far from the market town of Buxton. A protected nature reserve, its mix of yew, ash, whitebeam and hazel is a riot of colour in spring, when wildflowers bloom. At the head of the gorge is Thirst House Cave, the site of some interesting historical discoveries. A bear’s skull was found by local boys towards the end of the 19th century, leading to further excavations. Bronze jewellery, pottery fragments, enamelled brooches and coins were discovered, all from Roman times. Much of the hoard is now on display in Buxton Museum.

I would declare that this is not the easiest of Caves to get to. It's not the path in the immediate vicinity but the routes available to get there. 1) A path through boulder strewn Horseshoe Dale or 2) The steep precipitous descent from Caxterway Lane or 3) The path from King Sterndale which was flooded in Deep Dale when I visited on Dec 25th 2020 or 4) The alternative from the A6 car park being closed till 2026. I visited, as it was on my round walk from Chelmorton. I avoided the steep precipitous descent by entering the dales off the A515 and leaving by the steep precipitous ascent (better going up) near the cave. It is an interesting edifice and has been investigated thoroughly with artifacts being found that are now in the museum at Buxton. Search on the web re the the findings and it's use.

One of the many great caverns to explore in the area. I would recommend visiting when it is too hot for a hike as the caverns stay relatively cool all year round. Or when it is raining as you are sheltered from the weather. PS there are a lot of steps.

The mine (more of a cave than a mine) has now been fenced off to one side so it is not possible to fully explore it. Although you can still get a view of it before approaching the broken road.

The old name for this cave was "Hob Hurst House" and was supposed to be home to a goblin. It was excavated in the 19th century and several artefacts of Roman origin were discovered, along with a bear skull!. Pack a torch and you can safely explore the back of the cave where a hard mud slope leads down into a large low chamber.

Take a look in this show cave (not National Trust) to see the rare mineral after which the cave is named.

One of the more well known caverns/caves in the area, admission fee, but there is a nice cafe when you have finished your tour.

Nice walk from Castleton
