5 Reasons to Visit the Heights of Abraham

Fly high above the valley ​​​​​​

Bring the whole family for a unique adventure at the Heights of Abraham in Matlock Bath, Derbyshire. Soar above the valley on an exciting cable car ride, taking in the scenery below before reaching the summit of Masson Hill, 1000ft above sea level!

Explore the underground world  

Take two different guided tours of illuminated show caverns. Venture deep into the mines of Masson Hill and twist and turn through the tunnels in the Great Masson Cavern before witnessing the colourful lighting displays in the main chamber. Tour with the Victorians at the Great Rutland Cavern where little ones are invited to take part in demonstrations during the tour. Both tours are suitable for children.

Dine in the sky

For lunch there’s a fabulous café and a spectacular restaurant with outstanding views to accompany each meal. The Vista restaurant serves freshly prepared meals, with a range of dishes and a chef’s special menus. The café serves pasties, paninis, cakes, and bakes, along with a children’s packed lunch too.

Experience a 360-degree view of Derbyshire  ​​​​​​

Climb to the top of the Victoria Prospect Tower, built in 1844, to take in a spectacular 360-degree view of the Derbyshire Dales below. The tower is the first purpose-built tourist attraction in Derbyshire.

Have a pint on the rooftop beer garden  ​​​​​​

Holding the oldest beer license in the Matlock area, the Tavern serves a wide selection of Peak Ales, along with wines, gins and ciders too. Take in the view from the rooftop beer garden and while away the day high above Matlock Bath.
