The Peak Cavern is the least commercialised of the four show caves in Castleton. It is owned by the estate of he Duchy of Lancaster, but is now managed by the owners of Speedwell Cavern, who are responsible for all maintenance and tourist issues.
Unlike the other show caves in Castleton, Peak Cavern is thought to be almost exclusively natural. The only known synthetic section of the cave was destroyed to bypass a low tunnel that was only accessible by lying down on a boat, and the cave system is the largest in the Peak District.
