If you haven’t visited Castleton in the heart of the Peak District National Park, you’ve been missing out. It’s a beautiful place, with much to do and see in the surrounding countryside, whether you’re a hiker, extreme sports enthusiast or like me, a real foodie. The Bull’s Head on the village’s main thoroughfare is a must-visit for all of the aforementioned groups, such is its welcoming appeal and superb menu comprising ingredients procured from the locale. Refitted and ready for action, the pub has been carefully updated so as to retain its traditional appeal, while staying comfortable and stylish. The regularly changing seasonal menu holds classics like the trio of Tideswell handmade sausages, and world dishes such as monkfish and tiger prawn Thai curry. Add ales from Robinsons Brewery, five en-suite bedrooms, jazz nights and a newly refurbished barn space to dine or drink in, and you have the perfect pub package.
