Things to Do in Castleton

Our intermediate caving course offers an immersive, hands-on experience for those looking to push their caving skills. This course includes vertical challenges like abseiling underground and using caving ladders to explore higher, more remote cave sections. You’ll also go deeper into larger cave systems, navigating narrow squeezes and technical crawls, which require both physical and mental focus. Unlike show caves, you'll experience real wild caving in natural, rugged systems. With a full day of caving, you’ll refine your skills in a challenging environment. Small group sizes ensure personalised attention from experienced instructors, who guide you through advanced techniques and provide insights into cave geology. By the end of the day, you'll gain the confidence and skills to tackle more complex cave systems and progress in your caving journey.

This self-guided Peak District road trip is designed to help you understand how the national park fits together as one coherent journey rather than a scattered collection of viewpoints. Instead of piecing routes together yourself, the guide connects historic towns, valleys and scenic roads into a clear touring structure that moves naturally from the White Peak’s limestone landscapes to the ridges of Hope Valley. You can follow the full route or explore sections depending on your time. The guide also includes 7 scenic drives across the national park, revealing mountain passes, limestone gorges and reservoir landscapes where the journey itself becomes a highlight. Rather than a fixed itinerary, the guide provides narrative context, route progression and flexible time-based planning ideas so you can adapt the experience around walking routes, weather and travel pace. With 12 months access included, you can start planning well before your trip and return to the guide whenever you need.
