Castleton is arguably the Peak District's most stunning village and is a very popular tourist destination. There are many good walks around the area that take in the breathtaking views and there is something for everyone whether you're into walking, photography or exploring caves.There are many locations in the area suitable for landscape photography. This picture here was taken in Cave Dale at the rear of Peveril Castle. The castle itself was built in the 11th century and named after its founder William Peveril. On the horizon is Mam Tor a hill near the village popular with walkers. Remains dating back to the bronze age lie upon the hill. The shot was taken on grassy slopes on an opposite cliff in Cave Dale. The cliffs are very steep and should be climbed with care but the results are very rewarding.
