Peak District: Part 4 - Castleton & Edale

Today we got up early at our B&B in Buxton, had a full English breakfast and drove north through Chapel-en-le-Frith, Castleton, Edale, and a loop around through Leek and Stoke.

First up... the road to Castleton.


And then in a classic England move, it started to rain...


But we're like the rest of the locals, we won't let some water slow us down. This picture can't accurately portray how steep the descent is down Wannat Pass.


The village of Castleton with a view of Perevil Castle on the hill (William Perevil - the son of William the Conqueror - built this castle)


The Peak District looks like a combination of the Lake District, Wales and the Yorkshire Dales...


And I just love little villages with public phones. Its very Sean Connery in 'Entrapment.'

How can you have a "real" English breakfast without sausage, or maybe bubble and squeak?
