Since first opening to visitors in 1780 the Heights of Abraham has remained one of the Peak District's most appealing destinations. Visitors have travelled from all over the world to experience its unique blend of spectacular Underground Caverns, Exhibitions, Shops, Play Areas, Picnic Spots, Cafe and Restaurant all with stunning views in acres of beautiful woodland.
In recent times however, the Heights have become rightly famous for their landmark Cable Car system - the first of its kind in the whole of the British Isles.
