Castleton is in and within Peak District National Park. A small town with nothing much going on.
This is a short one because I didn't do much here. I bought a map (which I had a frustrating encounter with the cashier but it's a story for another time) that allowed me to take 7 routes of self-guided trail walks of up to 7 hours each.
I wanted to do at least 2 but I either can't find the way points because it was hidden by housing or because it was heavily flooded by the ever-going rain. So I gave up on the walks and instead I went to visit their caverns.
This was one rare occasion that I paid to enter any place mainly because I didn't have anything else to do otherwise. I bought ticket to 2 caverns (the Speedwell and the Peak) but I only went for Peak Cavern because Speedwell was dangerously flooded.
They were guided tours so it was worth the money. Peak Cavern was one of the largest caverns with the largest opening in Britain. Even Queen Victoria went there before for a visit.
Apart from that, it is just a quiet town with nothing much going on. I give Castleton 3.5 stars. #0258
