We are excited to announce our Poole's Paws Cavern Tours 🐾 These are limited edition dog friendly tours, running weekdays at 9:20am starting next week!

We are happy to welcome well-behaved dogs on short leads on our special 9:20am tours. Please note this is a unique environment; dogs may react unusually to the dark or echoes. Badly behaved dogs will be asked to leave.

Pre-book our Poole's Paws Cavern Tours at www.poolescavern.co.uk

These are the only tours where dogs are allowed. We feel that our furry friends should be able to experience our cavern but it would be inappropriate to allow them on standard public tours. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity.

P.S Our Café at the Cavern is dog friendly too 🐕

‘The seaside town without the sea’ 🌊🏠

Nestled in the Derbyshire Dales, on the banks of the River Derwent, Matlock Bath was one of the country’s first tourist destinations and visitors flocked for miles in the Victorian era to sample its healing spa waters 💦

Today Matlock Bath is famous for its fish and chip shops 🍟, amusement arcades 🎲, small theme park at Gulliver's Kingdom, and cable car rides leading to a cliff top country park at The Heights of Abraham 🚠
