    Hiking

    Cave Dale is a superb ascent. Easy access from Castleton makes it a great quick hike and fun for all the family.

    Formed from a coral reef some 350 million years ago, the limestone cliffs contain endless fossils for kids to hunt. Watch out for Peveril Castle high above you as well.

    As you reach the top of the ascent, you will come to a gap in a drystone wall. At this gap, turn right to follow another wall up the hill to loop back to the village.
