Explore The Local Area
You could stay here a month, leaving your car on the park without exhausting the myriad footpaths that can be accessed from here – from a 30 minute walk to Castleton to as much of The Pennine Way as you fancy.
On the other hand you could take a 5-minute walk to the local pubs or the Curry Cabin Indian restaurant, . Or, for the seriously athletically challenged, sit out on your pitch and watch the sun go down on Lose Hill – wine & pizza optional…World famous crags and cliffs are in abundance here with Stanage or Froggatt Edge only a few miles away so climbers of all levels are spoilt for choice.
There is simply so much to do and explore in the Hope Valley and across the Peak District, with caving, orienteering and much more right here on our doorstep.
