Home of Britain's first national park - the Peak District.
Located right at the heart of England, the stunning and diverse scenery of the Peak District and Derbyshire is a paradise for all outdoor enthusiasts.
Let us invite you to the marvellous hill-village of Castleton, dominated by the imposing ruins of Peveril Castle and surrounded by superb walking country. Below ground, there is a subterranean network of caverns and mines which has drawn people to the area for more than two millennia.
We will climb the peak of the "shivering mountain" Mam Tor to drink-in the astonishing views across the valley, will be guided underground to explore the unique world of caverns. And definitely settle in one of village’s old pubs, offering good food, old-fashioned charm and warm hospitality: “Muddy boots welcome”! Hurray!!!
