Dog walks around Castleton
Some of the walks through the fields and countryside around Castleton are simply superb.
Take the walk through the fields to Mam Tor, Winnat’s Pass or to Hope from the centre of the village. Ample parking is provided at the visitors centre, for walks directly from the centre of Castleton. However, for a more strenuous option, then spend a day walking to the Great Ridge.

Dog Friendly attractions
You will also find the Treak Cliff Cavern, which is thought to be the only placed in the world to manufacture Blue John stone naturally, in Castleton. The best thing about it is that dogs are welcome at all times. In fact, most of the caverns are dog friendly except for Speedwell cavern, which has the underground boat. However, it is best to check beforehand, just to be on the safe side.
Dog Friendly pubs and cafes
As you might expect, Castleton has a number of cafes and pubs to cater for most needs. You’ll find plenty where your dog is welcome. The Three Roofs Cafe is situated on The Island, while the dog friendly pubs include Ye Olde Nags Head on Cross Street and Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese on How Lane.
Further afield
In the Hope Valley, there are even more options. Hope has a dog friendly cafe in the Old Hall Tea Room. Hathersage is well-equipped with options including the Plough Inn on Leadmill Bridge and the Little John Hotel on Station Road.
Elsewhere, you’ll find that the The Bulls Head in Foolow and the Miners Arms in Eyam welcome dogs. In addition you could go to The Old Nags Head and The Rambler Inn in Edale.

Perhaps the Derwentwater Arms on Lowside in Calver. Alternatively, the Travellers Rest in Brough – just outside Hope. Or perhaps The Maynard in Grindleford, just down from the staion.
