There’s more to see and do than ever before at the award-winning Heights of Abraham, Derbyshire’s oldest tourist attraction, established in 1787. Begin your day at the Heights by taking flight in one of the famous cable cars. Travel across the picturesque Derwent Valley in style and enjoy the views of Matlock Bath below.
It’s not just the views from the cable car, there’s a new view around every corner once you reach the summit. Experience the Peak District surrounding this special hilltop estate, with views of peaks and valleys everywhere you look. Take a tour underground in the two famous show caverns. Follow one of the professional cavern guides deep into the hillside and learn tales of mining, history, geology, and tourism from those who know it best.
The Vista Restaurant and Terrace Café sit almost 1,000ft above sea level. They provide views for miles across the valley, a great place to soak up the surroundings while enjoying a freshly made meal, accompanied by a local ale or gin.
New for 2022, willow sculptures by artist Caroline Gregson capture important moments of the history of the Heights of Abraham, paused in time. A new gift shop has been installed and a brand-new exhibition will open in the Masson Pavilion later on this year.
Access to everything at the Heights is included in the cable car ticket, giving you entry to exhibitions, historic buildings, spectacular viewpoints and more.
• The Heights of Abraham took a bit of a battering in the recent storms and has now confirmed that it will reopen, as planned, on 4 March, for long weekends (Fridays to Mondays inclusive), and then daily from 25 March until 6 November.
