Treak Cliff Cavern

Fantastic place. One of the best for differing things to look at and the names of the caverns. Useful tour on an app or boards to read in each cavern which we did as we just don’t like using our phones when we are having a day away from technology. We always choose to come back to this cavern even though there are loads in the area. Very lovely friendly staff too. Only downside if the water is fed from the hills and the toilets and cafe have never been open when we go there so we have to use the facilities down in the town beforehand and after for our lunch but still a great cavern. Well worth the visit. The dogs love it in there too 😀

I found this place worth the ticket price. Rich history, well-maintained and deeply mesmerizing to be inside the cave...it was my first time visiting a cave,I was definitely in awe. I had read caves and chase in mined mountains like in Hobbit. I had my own imagined scenery. Now I was looking at real thing so pardon me for getting amazed.😀 One thing : i didnot find it easy to listen to audio guide on my walk inside caves since you gotta be careful with your steps and mindful of your head so holding a phone to listen to guide while doing all this and clicking photos and taking in everything got too much for me😀 I found sign boards and informational plaques enough to help me understand the place. If I need more info, I can listen to audio or read once I am out of cave and sitting on that slope of hill with lush views of valley down.

Did the self-guided tour on a quiet Saturday morning, staff were pleasant and the tour app had some good information explaining each of the caverns hostory. It doesn't take too long to get around, even though you can go at your own pace I think most people would struggle to take longer than an hour or so to see everything there is to offer. There are bits where you need to crouch quite low which can be especially awkward if you're tall, so be warned.

Very informative self-guided your with all. You are up close to items being discussed. Gives you time to look around. The Blue John Vein is huge compared to the one on your in Blue John Cave, but I would go to both. The view coming out of cave is stunning, even in the pouring rain. So glad I stopped here!

Excellent, fairly easy cavern to do. Not that many steps but good footwear recommended as steps are wet. Very pretty. Gift shop is also great to look at and some piece of blue John aren't too expensive, plus some nice jewellery with beautiful colours.

The whole experience was inclusive and fun. The tour lasts about 45 mins and we bought tickets inside the gift shop. I would recommend buying online if you come visit during a school term break or holiday period. Parking is free here and just climb walk about 5 mins to the entrance. Overall, Treak Cliff Cavern offers an engaging and informative experience that combines natural beauty with historical insights. It’s a worth to visit. Just a warmly remind, to wear suitable footwear & warm comfortable clothing, most of the cavern tour floor are wet and beware your head to hit the rock.

Very cool location. Book in advance as they can get busy. Audio tour is via an app on smartphone (download in advance as their WiFi is a bit slow). Fascinating history for a stone that is unique to the area.

Booked this self guided tour a few days before we went and went for an earlier one as you get a discount for an earlybird tour. They made sure we had the app installed so we could get the narration. Very friendly and welcoming and we were told to take as long as we liked. You could see all the Blue John in the walls and the narration was very good. Was in the mine for about an hour and a half. A steep walk from the road to the mine (it does state this on the website) and not too many steps in the mine in one go. Loved that we could go at our own pace and stay where we wanted for as long as we wanted. We booked the tour primarily to see the Blue John but there are stalactites and stalagmites as well. The shop is well stocked with Blue John and other minerals. We would definitely recommend this tour.
