A spectacular walk located off the Square in Castleton offers a scenic walk through a gully for picturesque views of the Peveril Castle ruins. It is rocky path so not for the faint hearted so a fairly hard walk. Suitable footwear needed. The path leads onto the Limestone Way but you can walk back to the village via Winnatts Pass.
