From Easter 2007 they will have even more reason to visit the town as ‘Go Ape’ - the high wire forest adventure course will be opening their 8th attraction in Britain in the woodlands directly above the cavern. Admission to Go Ape allows visitors to spend a fun-filled three hours up in the trees, trekking from tree to tree via an assortment of rope bridges and Tarzan swings. Courses are split into five or six separate zones with exhilarating zip slides bringing you back to the forest floor at the end of each section. Go Ape! is all about encouraging and challenging people to seek adventure and have fun in Buxton Country Park, and what better way to do it than by tackling a high wire course up to 60 feet above the woodland floor! To compliment the town’s newest attraction, a brand new visitor centre will provide a stylish new cafeteria, shop and exhibition centre, so whether you’ve been underground or overground you’ll have the perfect place to relax, shop or sample the finest Derbyshire home-produced food. To improve access to the cavern, an award-winning disabled access project was undertaken to enable thousands more visitors to experience the magical underground atmosphere. A new ramp to assist wheelchair users has been built and a series of controllable underground cameras have been installed so those unable to complete the tour can still watch their friends and families navigate the underground chambers. Go Ape Buxton opens Easter 2007. For more details visit www.goape.co.uk or call 0870 444 5562 Poole’s Cavern is open to the public until October 31st 2007 and all-year round for pre-booked visits.

How Stean Gorge How Stean is a spectacular limestone gorge, situated in an Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty, in the very heart of Nidderdale among lush green pastures. Known as 'Yorkshire's Little Switzerland' to the Victorians, the Gorge is crossed by narrow bridges between the rocky paths that lead down and across the rock face. The scenery is breathtaking, and the beck that runs through the Gorge can be anything from a gentle stream to a raging gushing torrent - depending on the rainfall and time of year. |
