View of Peveril Castle from Cave Dale

Highlight • Natural Monument

Cave Dale is a super valley just south of Castleton. It is a super nice, steep-sided, craggy valley that is very scenic, and the natural ambience of the valley is enhanced by the imposing remains of Peveril Castle perched on its western flanks. There are also good views across towards Mam Tor, Hollins Cross, and Lose Hill to the north once you have come out of the valley.
