The Rambler's Rest is situated in a quiet corner of the otherwise very busy and popular village of Castleton in the Hope Valley. Castleton is a historic village with spectacular views and a long history. Peveril Castle has dominated the scene since Norman times and the village church bears much evidence of its Norman origins.

The valley is world renowned for its caves and potholes and there are various showcaves some of which are famous for the Blue John Stone to be found there. A very rare mineral, Blue John has been made into fine vases, jewellery and other artefacts and there are shops in Castleton specialising in such items.

Monsal Dale A good range of pubs, restaurants and cafes provide for your refreshment and the shops include gift shops, an antiquarian bookshop and others to browse - all within a compact area.

Castleton and the Hope Valley provide a wonderful and dramatic range of scenery for the walker, cyclist and tourist but stand on the doorstep of the whole of the Peak District National Park where the landscape varies from lonely moorland to the gentle valleys of the Derbyshire Dales.

Activities abound for all ages and include gliding, hang-gliding, caving, pot-holing and cycling. There are facilities for cycle hire and several trails follow the beds of former railway tracks where it is possible to explore the countryside quietly and safely without the worry of traffic.

Castleton lies close to the boundary of the Dark Peak and the White Peak. The Dark Peak is characterised by gritstone moorlands and offers superb walking. The area around the Ladybower reservoirs is dramatic and has good facilities for the visitor.

The White Peak is an altogether gentler area domnated by the limestone it lies on and there are numerous wooded valleys where you can follow the rivers that created them and enjoy a wide variety of wild flowers and animal and bird life.
