Castleton

Get off at Hope (Derbyshire) and take a bus or walk for 45 minutes to the town of Castleton. The town is not big, you can take a stroll around. Today, I even stumbled upon a temporary flea market and saw many old antiques from the past. Then you can go mountain climbing. Going up the mountain is not difficult, but going down is especially difficult and slippery. I almost fell several times. Remember to wear hiking shoes and hold onto the fence when going down the mountain. The scenery on the mountain is very good, while the wind is very strong.
