Castleton is a pretty village situated in the heart of Derbyshire Peak District National Park. It has 4 underground show caves, all having different features that are open for visit but require to pay for the entrance. The four caves are Blue John Cavern, Speedwell Cavern, Treak Cliff and Peak Cavern.
The air was so fresh and the scene was so spectacular which i dun know how to describe in words...hehe .... Maybe the picture may help me describe everything that I wanted to say.... hehe

We bought joint ticket for Peak Cavern and Speedwell Cavern which cost me 10 pound. In Peak Cavern, they showed us how a rope being produced. After showing, then we went inside to the cave and is was so dark and cold inside. It's about 10 degree Celsius inside or maybe lower than that. That's a tour guide explained everything inside the cave along the 30 minutes journey. It was quite fun....
Speedwell Cavern is different with Peak Cavern. Speedwell is go by a small boat with 21 peoples. It go into a very small tunnel and no much space inside... u have to be careful because your head will easily knock on the "ceiling"

He is wearing a hard hat. The baseball type of hat you can see contains a bit of plastic with padding and it doesn't hurt at all.
