Nestled in the heart of the Peak District, the village is in prime place for long walks around the valley's striking hills
At some point, everyone needs a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. Tucked away in the heart of the Peak District is the historic and quintessentially British village of Castleton, surrounded by steep hills at the head of the Hope Valley - it could easily be mistaken for Hobbiton.
Today, Ye Olde Nags Head offers everything from pub classics like beef, ale and potato pie, to an extensive list of burgers, pizzas, and daily specials, including their bangers and mash. It also provides accommodation for visitors wishing to stay overnight after a long day exploring the valley, with nine ensuite bedrooms available.
But Castleton offers more than just hospitality. Visitors can delve into the village's history at the imposing ruins of Peveril Castle, which stand high above Castleton. The rare Blue John stone can be found within Treak Cliff and Blue John Caverns. Meanwhile, Speedwell Cavern boasts an impressive vertical shaft that reaches about 150 metres deep and is often referred to as the "Bottomless Pit".
