Poole's Cavern, Buxton
Entrance to the cavern. The cavern takes its name from an outlaw, Poole, who reputedly used the cave as a lair and a base to rob travellers in the fifteenth century. The cave was occupied from the Bronze Age. When it was 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 Wonders of the Peak. Mary, Queen of Scots, is claimed to have been an early visitor.
