The picturesque village just an hour from Manchester where you can explore caverns and a ruined castle

Whether it’s discovering abandoned railway tunnels or stumbling upon Second World War plane wreckage, the Peak District countryside has plenty to offer visitors.

One place packed full of stunning sights is Castleton, a pretty village lined with quaint stone cottages in the Hope Valley. Just a one-hour drive from Manchester city centre, the village is home to impressive caves and popular walking routes.

Combining the two is the cavern trail, a walk featuring views of Castleton’s famous caverns and mines. The walk is of moderate difficulty and includes ascents and descents in some of the most stunning parts of the Peaks.
