Great Rutland Cavern

Great Rutland Cavern

The Great Rutland Cavern is a small cave and one of the two at the Heights of Abraham, Matlock, Derbyshire.

It consists of a narrow passage and a chamber leading in to the Nestus Grotto. Sometimes a face of sunlight can be seen through holes in the rock.

At the end of the tour there is a display on what it was like mining in the 1800s.
