Hotels In Castleton

Lose Hill and Win Hill for example were named after a battle more than 1300 years ago between Edwin, King of Northumbria and the united armies of Wessex and Mercia, whilst Mam Tor (the Mother Hill or Shivering Mountain) has a more recent tale of subsidence and erosion that permanently closed the main road down into the village.
