  The walk from Hope via Peakshole water is excellent, high above the river to begin with then level and close. Mam Tor always in view in the distance. Can return from Castleton same way or along the path by the roadside.

  Walking through Castletown is like going back in time. The streets, building and the castle ruins on the hill evoke a period in time still prevalent today.

  no visit to the peak district is not a visit unless you go to castleton, full of charm and scenery its a cavers paradise you can go by boat in a cave how many other caves can you go to that does that (unless you go to Blackpool pleasure beach) but not the same,there is one particular cave that when you go on the tour they turn the lights out for a brief second and you have total darkness, the shops all sell blue John stone jewellery so fellas make a hasty retreat if your other half enters the shop enter only with the cash,been to Castleton for over 40 years and it stays the same shops change hands but the buildings do not, there are plenty of walks for both young and old, if about in the summer visit one of the wells dressings unique to the peak district and Derbyshire not sure ifCcastleton has one but Hope ,Bradwell and Tideswell nearby do, but most of the towns and villagers have one at some point.

  We didn't do the whole walk but mainly around the pretty old town and out to the cave. There are lovely shops selling great products generally. The township is worth a walk around

  The exhibits etc give a very good indication of the types of industry and life in Castleton. There were things that don't interest me but plenty that did. The shop was nicely laid out and my brother took advantage to buy a couple of things for his home.

  I have visited here on many occasions over the years, always around the xmas period when all the trees and lights are on and I can think of nowhere else that has the special xmas feeling that Castleton gives. Well recommended at xmas. It always seems to snow when I visit !

  Castleton is located in Hope Valley ..Visiting the village takes 1-2 hour walking slowly, It's pretty village, welcoming atmosphere, small shops, good pubs and eateries ..It"s also an ideal starting point to visit local caves, which are either natural cavities or galleries of graphite or a combination of both..... William Peveril erected here in the 12th century. a stone castle just after the Norman Conquest. Now in ruins, ,the castle still dominates the village ... . Going to Peak Cavern, about 45 minutes walking from Castelton center..Very nice place

  Lovely town, lots to see, but don't park on the single yellow lines even on a Sunday! There are tiny signs advising that there is no parking Sat, Sun, and Bank Hols 8am to 8pm and I was done at 9 am on a Sunday.They obviously couldn't afford enough yellow paint to paint double yellow lines which would have been much clearer for visitors.
