The entrance to Peveril Castle is literally a 2 minute stroll from our cottage, just off the Market Place…..

Did you know that Peveril Castle in Castleton was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and is one of England’s earliest Norman fortresses?

Today all that still stands of Peveril Castle is part of the gatehouse, the perimeter walls and the remains of the keep, although the latter is relatively well preserved and many of the original gritstone blocks are still evident.

The zig-zag walk up the hill is challenging but there are plentiful benches to rest on, and the views across the valley to Mam Tor, Back Tor, Lose Hill and Win Hill are breathtaking.

📸 Thank you to Steven Hewitt for this incredible shot of Peveril Castle in the mist.

Leave your car at the cottage and explore the area by open top bus….

Who wants to hop aboard the Stagecoach Peak Sightseer?! 🙌🚌

New for this season, there are two routes called Red route and Blue route, so you can see even more of the Peak District National Park from an open-top bus!

Hathersage open air pool is only 10 minutes drive from the cottage.
It’s lovely and warm all year round…..

It may be winter but… anyone for a dip? 💦😍 Did you know that the Peak District village of Hathersage is home to an open air swimming pool?💧

Surrounded by stunning views at the heart of the Dark Peak, it’s the perfect place to soak up the scenery (and get some lengths in too!) 🏊🏼‍♂️ The pool is also heated to roughly 22 degrees👌
