Go underground in Castleton to see caverns and the rare banded fluorite found in only two UK caves.
Blue John Cavern is one of four show caves in Castleton, Derbyshire, alongside Peak Cavern, Treak Cliff Cavern and Speedwell Cavern. It is a series of caverns, and a visit shows clearly how caves form in limestone. The limestone itself was laid down on the floors of great oceans, and the fossilised remains of marine animals help tell that story.
Tip: Browse the Blue John jewellery in the cavern shop before you leave.

A Daniel Libeskind-designed museum on the Manchester Ship Canal telling the story of modern conflict through objects and film.
Imperial War Museum North sits beside the Manchester Ship Canal in Trafford, in a striking aluminium-clad building by architect Daniel Libeskind. Its sharp angles and sloping floors are deliberately unsettling, echoing a globe shattered by conflict.
Tip: The main exhibition floor slopes gently and lighting levels vary across two floors, so visitors with mobility issues should take extra care there.
Drive times are typical times by car with no traffic. Check opening times and book tickets on each attraction's own website before you go.

Had a lovely weekend break for my 60th Birthday with my husband, sister & brother in law fantastic lodge and peaceful surroundings had a lovely meal in the local pub and the staff were amazing, my sister had the table decorated lovely surprise x
In need of some upgrading really
Great lodge - would definitely recommend a visit, quite, peaceful and good quality
Not happy with our stay. we stayed in The Old Barn, the list of things that were disappointing is too long to mention, here are just a few; one towel per person ( when there is a hot tub you would expect 2 per person one for washing one for hottub. The hot tub is facing the wrong way when opened you loose the view (picture on hoseasons is VERY DISPETIVE!, taken without a Lid so it doesnt block the view) states no hottub use after 22:00 which we stuck to BUT owner lives nextdoor and complained about us having music on at 21:00 ( not loud at all) List of rules is fine but they were a lot of "DO NOT!" instead of please refrain froms, just felt a bit angry The spare room was fuilled with the owners belongings.Wasps nest in loft, reported on Wednesday and still no sing of pest controll when we left on fridays, lost 2 days in the tub due to wasps swarming us when in hot tub
Lovely cabin, washing machine, dishwasher, hoover, clothes airer, iron, pots and pans, crockery, cutlery, towels, sheets.. Handwash, toilet roll. Hot tub to the side/back with a lovely old tree over. Grassy surroundings, little walks to surrounding fields with sheep & alpaca's. We loved it and will definitely return.
Everything you need for a perfect stayThe only thing I would suggest is perhaps some rattan sofa seating out the front of the lodge
Fabulous relaxing lodge . Perfect setting to unwind and switch off . Will return for sure .
Fantastic 4 nights in the Lodge and will hopefully return one day.
some nice touches
Fantastic, we would stay in the same lodge again but would like to see other parts of the country.
A beautiful well equipped, well maintained and clean lodge. Home from home with everything you could possibly need. Set in rural picturesque countryside away from it all down a single track road which was never a problem. Hot tub was perfect and kept spotless. Comfortable sofas and beds. Everything top quality with added touches such as soap, washing up stuff, dishwasher tablets, tin foil etc. so handy. Loved the Alpacas in the neighbouring field and we had a couple of sheep that were regular visitors. Absolute bliss staying here and worth every penny.
Hot tub old could do with updating and improving area around it Jets didnt work well wasnt powerful Undercover be better as debris from trees fell in water Sheep free to roam in decking area
Great place to stay. Emma was extremely responsive at a host. Only thing i would say is that there was some stock imagery of the other lodges which caused a bit of confusion when trying to work out what the lodge we stayed in looked like.
Great stay, great walks and history me an my partner loved it nice tub to get your legs after mam tor
We really enjoyed our stay at the retreat cabin. Its absolutely beautiful! The only thing wed suggest is adding a softer light inside the main room. Leaving the curtains open was lovely, as we could soak in the peaceful surroundings. Lovely place!
The retreat cabin is stunning.Could do with a soft light in the main room, put the outside lights on and left the curtains open, could see all the lovely quite, peaceful location which was a bonus leaving open the curtains.
Beautiful lodge with scenic views. Hot tub well maintained, great facilities. Would happily stay again! Lovely and clean and near everything you would need!
Honestly, weve stayed in a few lodges here before, but Amour Deluxe really outshines the rest. Its super private, with a lovely hot tub right outside the bedroom French doors - perfect for unwinding. The private deck is peaceful, just the gentle sound of a stream passing by, which makes for a great chill-out spot. The wildlife is quite entertaining too - from badgers late at night to squirrels and even a couple of Jays dropping by. The lodge itself is cosy and warm, with some nice touches and that massive sofa is just what you need after a long day. The local pub, The George and Dragon, is a short walk away and there are plenty of lovely walks on your doorstep. Well definitely be returning!
The lodge is at the end of a narrow lane with hardly any passing points. Its not lit and its not great driving down it at night. Our lodge was cold when we got there, the heating wasnt working and the owner took over 2 hours to come out and reset the boiler meanwhile we had to try and keep warm. The hot tub wasnt very hot and we were told that it was set to a maximum temperature. The hot water for the bath was only warm and not hot enough to have a bath. The lodge was very dated and in need of a refurb. The plastic on the cupboards in the kitchen was peeling off all over leaving very sharp edges. The floor boards creaked very loudly and the doors also creaked very loudly and this disturbed us quite a lot. The outside lighting isnt very bright and theres only 1 very dim light near the hot tub making it rather difficult to see if using the hot tub when its dark. On a plus the bedding and towels were to a good standard and were nice and clean.
A nice place to spend a few days to relax or visit Manchester for shopping private location lovely hot tub that is well maintained during your stay
Really enjoyed our stay here! The private spot was perfect for relaxing and the hot tub was kept in great condition. Ideal for a chill weekend away.
We recently stayed at the Amour 1 Lodge and honestly, it had its ups and downs. Inside, it was quite nice - the kitchen was well-stocked with pots, pans and utensils, which made cooking easy. The living area was comfy enough for relaxing after a day out. The bathroom in the bedroom was a bit tight, though, with nowhere to put your toothbrush or toiletries, which was a bit annoying. The hot tub was okay; it was at the right temperature when we arrived, but most of the jets didnt work, so it felt more like a warm bath outside. We only used it twice in the week. The bed was a real letdown - it was an old, rickety wooden frame with a super soft mattress that sank in the middle. It creaked constantly, so we kept waking each other up turning over or getting up. On the plus side, the place was generally clean, though there were quite a few cobwebs hanging from the beams and light fittings over the bed. We did have a day without heating or hot water due to a storm, but the staff responded quickly and even brought electric radiators, which was a nice touch. All in all, not bad, but could definitely be better!
Stayed in the Amour 1 Lodge. Was really nice inside, good kitchen and living room. Kitchen had a good stock of pots and pans and utensils which was helpful. Bathroom in bedroom was ok but a little on the small side. Nowhere to put your toothbrush etc. Hot tub was ok. Was at temperature when we arrived, however most of the jets didnt work so felt like you were sitting in a warm bath outside. Only used twice in the whole week. Bed was awful! Rickety old wooden bed with a very soft mattress that sunk in the middle. Woke each other up in the night turning over or getting up to use the loo cause of the creaking! Place was generally clean, however quite a lot of cobwebs hanging from the beams and light fittings over the bed. Did have a slight problem one of the days where we had no heating or hot water, due to a bad storm the previous evening, but the staff were quick to sort and even bought over some electric radiators which was a very nice touch.
Unreal lodge
The sofas are comfy but really need new cushions; otherwise, everything was lovely!
The sofas could do with new seating cushions. Besides that it was great.
Beautiful cottage in a great location. Lots of booklets for walks provided which were really helpful. Hosts were very quick and responsive.
We had a really lovely short break and definitely plan to come back - theres still so much more to explore around here. We love it!
We had a lovely short holiday break, and would return to the area as still things to see and do. We love the area.
The decor was quite lovely and the sofa super comfy, which we loved. The TV in the bedroom was a bit frustrating though-only worked with radio, no controller! Still, clean and cozy overall.
Lovely decorExtremely comfortable deep sofaTv in the bedroom only worked on smooth radio and no controller so was just in the wayBut was clean and comfortable
Excellent stay, just a few minor things that could elevate it. Mirror in single bed bedroom, dishwasher wasn’t working after being told it was fixed, a few wasps flying around. Otherwise the stay was brilliant and we really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you ?
A very nice and clean lodge that was good value for money. Hot tub was also clean and well kept.
The only slight issue was no access to WiFi (couldn't find or connect) but was a minor flaw when everything else was really good.
Would return happily.
Been here several times before so that should say something of my opinion of site , ( first time in old barn though ). Ideal spot to get away from it all for a few days , but plenty on door step if required ( Buxton , Manchester).
All round excellent, my only complaint is that there was no where to sit to dry your hair and make up as there’s no dressing tables or mirrors, apart from that excellent.
Beautiful lodge with fantastic amenities located in an idyllic spot, would definitely book again, in fact I have booked for next year already.
This place MADE our trip. Recommend it to anyone.
We had a very good time staff we've helpful and areas was nice.
No words just spot on.
Lodge was absolutely beautiful would recommend the site to anyone location and surroundings was just what we wanting as we were on a walking holiday
We had a lovely weekend in a lovely location
A lovely location, staff were very helpful and overall great visit
Just a bit annoyed that when booking I was told a 10.00 am checkout, only on arrival to be told it was now a 9.00 am checkout. Rushed morning!
