Derbyshire and the Peak District are home to a number of beautiful towns and villages – with picturesque places to be discovered in every corner of the county.
We visited Castleton, one of the Peak District’s most popular destination, to see why it remains such a tourist hotspot – and these photos show why the village is among the most scenic places to explore this autumn.
