Castleton is where the caves are and is well worth a visit. There are 2 more caves as well not with the stone in though. Blue John was thought to have been mined out although rumoured to be another vein somewhere which was accidentally found by one of the grandchildren, I believe, & so is being mined again. It is a beautiful stone & I loved growing up near there.
