Top of the World
Often overshadowed by nearby attractions like Chatsworth House, the Heights of Abraham is a beautiful hilltop park in Derbyshire. Built in 1780, it’s the location of England’s first-ever mountain cable car facility, travelling from Derwent Valley to the top of Masson Hill or the Heights of Abraham. Once at the summit the 235-year story of the Heights springs to life. Visitors can take two different tours through underground illuminated caverns, with professional guides to lead the way. Above ground, there are three exhibitions, delving deeper into the heritage of the 60-acre estate. Relax in the Vista restaurant with an outstanding view to accompany your meal. Adventure playgrounds are on offer to keep the children busy, with heritage gardens and sculptures too. The Heights is a truly unique and memorable day out.
