Self catering accommodation in Castleton in Derbyshire - Peak District National Park

Book a holiday rental in Castleton

Castleton in Derbyshire is a typical Peak District village set around a parish church. This is the heart of walking country, most people have been to the Peak District national park in England for at least a ramble and will know the character of the area. The majority of the houses and buildings are built of stone, solid and grey in appearance. Because of the regular influx of walkers and tourists there are plenty of pubs and tea shops which the British are fond of.

Paths and trails from Castleton lead in all directions to other villages and up into the hills. During the winter, the ground can be quite boggy and walking boots are advisable. One of my reasons for liking Castleton is that is makes a special effort to dress up for Christmas. Almost every other shop, pub and tea shop has a brightly coloured Christmas tree standing outside to give the village a merry atmosphere.

There are plenty of interesting places to visit in the Peak District apart from Castleton which maintains this national park's appeal. Buxton, Bakewell, Eyam, Hartington and Matlock on the eastern edge of the Peak District are some of the more popular.
