The Chapel
|
Ideally located right in the heart of Castleton in Derbyshire, the Chapel has all the characteristics of the classic caving hut and yet it is handy for the shops and pubs and it is only a few minutes walk from Peak Cavern and many of Derbyshire's classic caves are also nearby. The hut is operated by the Technical Speleological Group which offers a wide range of caving activities throughout the Peak District and the U.K. www.tsgcaving.co.uk |
