Are there any caverns in the Peak District suitable for young children?
I'm travelling to the Peaks this summer with an 18 month old and my wife.
I would like for my wife to see one of the caverns there, but it needs to be suitable for our 18mo, meaning we can get out pretty sharpish if he gets scared or decides to have a meltdown.
Are there any such caverns? A self-guided one would be ideal or one with a very short tour.

The Castleton caves are some of the best show caverns in the country, and is home to Peak Cavern, Speedwell Cavern, Blue John Cavern and Treak Cliff Cavern. Caverns and caves in the Peak District are unique places to visit and are one of the most popular things to do in Derbyshire and the Peak District.Is it cold in Peak Cavern?
The Peak Cavern is unheated and can get cold (especially in November), so please come prepared with warm clothes and sensible shoes (as the ground is uneven). Although the cave is under shelter, it can get a little bit drippy inside, so please bring a waterproof with you.How long is Peak Cavern?
The entrance to Peak Cavern is the largest cave entrance in Britain, standing at 60 feet high, 100 feet wide and 340 feet long.Which is the best cave to visit in Castleton?
Treak Cliff Cavern is one of four caverns in Castleton's vicinity, and definitely the best one (although we haven't visited Blue John Cavern following advice from Speedwell Cavern).TOP 10 PEAK DISTRICT DESTINATIONS | Best places to visit UK
