My Favourite Derbyshire Village - Castleton

Image
Castleton, my favourite village in the peak, it is so beautifully picturesque and there is so much to see and do.  Here are my top 5 favourite things to do in Castleton.  1. See the view from Mam Tor  Also known as the shivering mountain, Mam Tor stands out amongst other peaks due to its unique crumbling face. There are several routes to the top. You can either park in Castleton Village and take a long hike up, or park at Mam Tor National car park (S33 8WA) for a shorter stroll to the top.  2. Trek Over Caverns at Cave Dale  As you make your way through the rocky opening, you are actually walking over underground caves (peak cavern).  You also get a great rear view of Pevril Castle from the farside of Cave Dale.  3. Driving through Winnats Pass  One of the UK's most scenic roads. Road trip anyone?  Pull up and climb to the tops for the best view of Winnats Pass from above. 4. Exploring the Caverns  Castleton is home to several caverns
