We are extremely lucky to be only 40 minuets drive from home to this lovely area. This was our second visit to Castleton club site. The site is beautifully clean and well maintained, the wardens very pleasant and welcoming. If you take a left turn out of the site, cross the road, as no footpath on the left, look for the first turning on your left and walk upwards and onwards you'll find yourself at the top of Losehill from where you can walk along the ridge to Mam Tor, the views are amazing. There are sheep grazing so dogs on leads but there is a good section of off lead once on the ridge. Second walk: Don't miss out on walking Cavedale which is less of a challenge and takes you behind Pevril castle. It begins in Market place sign posted by the side of  the Bulls head, walk to the left then look for a small track between cottages sharp right. Signposted Cavedale. There are sheep grazing but sections where its safe to allow dogs some freedom. No maps required for this walk and the first walk mentioned it would be difficult to get lost,both walks are circular and take you back into Castleton. Both walks suitable for children, and those like me with niggling knees and hips! Castleton village has a good number of dog friendly pubs serving quality meals. No chain stores, just a few gift shops and outdoor shops along with village stores and a small market.
