Open All Year

The spectacular limestone gorge can be followed via narrow paths and footbridges along a ravine 20m deep in places, a raging torrent in winter and a gentle stream in summer.

The beck is home to fish, lazing in the river under the dense wild garlic in spring and in summer a canopy of ash, oak and hazel interspersed with ferns and lichens.

If you are feeling more adventurous, Tom Taylor's Cave is open for all to  explore - a "real cave" with dripping stalactites. Bring your wellies if you want to explore How Stean Tunnel, if you are careful the water should not go over the top. Be careful as any thing wet and green is slippery.

Torches can be hired when purchasing your ticket for the Gorge £2.

Tours, parties, evening functions and potholing excursions are all welcome by arrangement with the proprietors. Floodlighting of the upper gorge will soon be completed.

Dogs under control are welcome.

Due to the uneven and difficult terrain wheelchair users and prams cannot access the Gorge.
