The Heights of Abraham
 | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Welcome to one of the Peak District’s oldest and most popular days out, an attraction where stunning natural beauty is matched by human achievement and the historic blends seamlessly with the futuristic. Since first opening its gates to visitors in 1780 the Heights of Abraham has remained one of the Peak District’s most popular destinations. Visitors have travelled from all over the world to experience its unique blend of spectacular underground caverns, stunning views and acres of beautiful woodland. In recent times however, the Heights has become rightly famous for its landmark Cable Car system which was introduced in 1984 - the first of its kind in the whole of the British Isles. The Woodland Adventure is situated on the lower play area and consists of an amazing and exciting range of towers, slides, climbing wall, rope walks and an Eagles Nest... just climb in and swing. Set amongst the trees are our ever popular giant slides, simple pleasures but great fun! At the summit plateau is the Explorer's Challenge, a range of activities to test young adventurers' skills. In 1844 the Victoria Prospect Tower was built to celebrate Victoria's reign. It provided work for redundant lead miners whose activities on the hillside had been restricted when the estate had become a ‘Pleasure Ground’.
