MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I know the Hope Valley well for riding, but we're going up there with some non-riding friends (and kids) camping for the weekend.
Seeing as it was my idea to go there (not for sneaky early morning rides honest!) I need to be armed with things to do and pubs to visit.
I've got all the details of the Caverns and the Castle. Other than that (and walking) is there anything we should consider?
Also - any good pub recommendations for food and a few beers?
Thanks
Horse/pony trekking?
Hope Valley Dairy - Ice creamery tour
Go and watch the gliders/parascenders. Maybe have a tandem flight.
The George and the Castle pubs both do good food, just in the shadow of Peveril Castle.
Walk up Cavedale and go exploring in the free caves.
The chippy is nice in the square.
The [URL= http://www.chestnutcentre.co.uk/ ]Chesnut Centre[/URL] is a quick drive up Winnats Pass and along the road a bit. If you like otters and that.
avoid the pub by the station in edale at all costs
otherwise the devil's ar53 is a good giggle, oh and before you go down the caves watch the league of gentlemen live, especially the sketch about the cave guide...
"This one over here…people say, “Mick, that doesn’t look like anything at all”. But I don’t know…when I look at it I seem to see a little pair of hands clutching at a slippery rope, sliding down, down into the dark water. Sometimes I’ll stand here for hours…just looking at it"
"I myself am not a fan of the dark, it's in the dark I see the boy's face"
Best League sketch by a country mile.
Are there caves you can explore in Cavedale then? (no sarcasm meant!!)
I guess the clue's in the name isn't it? Have to say I've only ever been down Cavedale at a rate of knots looking ahead of me in slight panic 😉

Yes there are, lots of little ones.
And the Rambler is fine (pub next to station in Edale), as I've shown on here before.
