  4. When Castleton Fed a Queen

    From Castleton Rigg above Danby Dale, the eye follows the curve of the valley. To the right stands The Howe, and to the left, on the lower ridge lies Castleton, a village whose name carries the echo of a medieval stronghold. The castle itself rose on Castle Hill around 1089, and with it came cottages and workshops, likely clustering ar ...

  8. The White Flint Legacy of Castleton

    At the crest of an old tramway incline from the former silica quarries, once the workings of the Sheffield-based firm J. Grayson Lowood & Co. Ltd., one gazes across the Esk valley. Just off-centre in the distance lies the looming hump of Castleton Rigg, climbing to the highest point of the “Fat Moors.” The village of Castleton itself clings to the f ...

    1. Sunshine - coming and going, playing hide and seek with the clouds
    2. Castleton - the hills, the hills! And the hills. And a gently challenging walk
    3. A place to stay - the Bull's Head, if you want a recommendation
