Castleton is an ideal centre for outdoor activities. The walking from the village around the Hope Valley is superb, with numerous options ranging from short easy walks to longer walks including the nearby Pennine Way.

There is some rock climbing on the flanks of Kinder Scout in nearby Edale, and the famous gritstone edges of Stanage, Froggatt, Millstone (and many others) are only a few miles away.
