Poole's Cavern, Derbyshire   (Prehistoric Monument)

Poole's Cavern is a natural limestone cave on the edge of Buxton, Derbyshire. The name derives from an outlaw, Poole, who reputedly used the cave as a lair in the 15th century. Archeological explorations have suggested that the cave was occupied from the Bronze Age. Some of the finds have been interpreted as suggesting that one of the chambers was used for religious purposes by Romano-Britons. Officially opened as a show cave in 1853 by the 6th Duke of Devonshire, the cave was already a tourist attraction, being listed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Peak by Thomas Hobbes in 1636. Mary, Queen of Scots, is claimed to have been an early visitor. The cave is within the council area of High Peak (Derbyshire).
