Blue John Cavern - Peak District, UK

The movement of the water beneath the earth over centuries has carved some jaw-dropping caves across the Peak District National Park. It is also the only area where you can find the beautiful fluor-spar mineral known as ‘Blue John' which is used to create jewellery. Blue John Cavern is world famous & the mineral has been mined here for centuries. Tours are the only way to see the caves (£15 for one hour). Just make sure you can handle the 245 steps down & back & I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone who suffers from claustrophobia. Check out my video here to get a flavour of what it is like to explore this immense underground mine.
