However, no classic English countryside village is complete without a cosy pub to relax in after a long day of seeing the sights, and in Castleton, there are six drinking spots to choose from despite the small size of the village. There is Ye Olde Nags Head, the Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Inn, the Bulls Head, the George as well as teashops, specialist shops and beautiful hotels set in historic buildings, so there is always something to do in this brilliant little village.

Tradition is everything at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese Inn, a Castleton alehouse set in a timbered, 17th-century coach house on the town’s main road.

If you don’t want to leave, they’ve got 10 comfy rooms upstairs (How Ln; mains from £8.50).
