CASTLETON, DERBYSHIRE



Here's a picture from a county that I'm fond of: Derbyshire.
This ancient lead - mining village is one of the most popular in the Peak District. There are separate spectacular caverns. The village itself is a delightful cluster of stone cottages and interesting inns, ringed by the limestone hills. It sits beneath the protection of a castle keep known as Peveril Castle. Built in Norman times by William I.
Castleton is a very popular place with visitors. This may be due to Castleton having almost everything a visitor could want. It has spectacular scenery. There are good walks for everyone, a pretty village, and many events throughout the year.
