Castleton - the small village with lots to do...

As the name suggests, there's the 11^th century Peveril Castle to explore as well as the famous caverns. Visit the enormous Peak Cavern or perhaps take an underground boat journey in Speedwell Cavern? There are six traditional country pubs in the village as well as tearooms and shops. There's also the state-of-the-art visitor centre. Castleton is also the ideal place to stay to explore the beauty of the Peak District, with Mam Tor (the shimmering mountain) overlooking the village. Everything is within a few minutes' walk from Fern Cottage.

Throughout the year there are special events including the Garland Day celebration in May and the fabulous Christmas lights – followed by carol singing in Peak Cavern!

Castleton is also a fantastic base for exploring near by attractions such as Chatsworth House, Buxton and Bakewell. Sheffield and Manchester are within easy travelling distance.
