More about this scene
The caverns at Castleton were, and still are, a popular day out for people from the Sheffield area. Here we have the entrance to the Speedwell Cavern, and Winnats Pass is little more than a track for sheep. Speedwell's history goes back to the 18th century, when a shaft was driven underground in the search for lead ore. The cavern's unique feature is a 750yd underground canal.
