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.

The Peak Cavern can be found deep in the gorge below Peveril Castle at Castleton - and is known colloquially as the Devil’s Arse. The cavern regularly hosts concerts, and an evening of carols even takes place in the run up to Christmas. Photo: Brian Eyre
