I love the caves around Castleton. So much fun taking young kids to see The Devils Arse and telling them its ok to say the bad word

I went to "Carol's in the Devil's Arse" a couple of years ago. The acoustics were incredible along with the occasional dripping from the cave ceiling :)

The cottage we book is right by the entrance to the Devils Arse - the kids were shocked/amused/enthralled the first time we took them. Nearly 40 years ago I was very involved with Sheffield uni walkers and ramblers - itโ€™s an area I know extremely well. We could get on the number 51 bus in Broomhill, pay 10p and get off in the square in Castleton

I'm guessing HellsBells that was in the days of the People's Republic of South Yorkshire when bus fares in Sheffield started at 3p and 10p was about the maximum? I recall going to stay up there with running friends and catching the bus out as far as possible before running home over the moors.

Forget Munros, Wainwrights and don't even mention Birketts the new peak list in town are the Ethels in the Peak District.

grough.co.uk

The slightly surprising thing is that when I looked at some near me that I didn't recall ever visiting it became apparent to actually visit the summit requires a trespass which didn't seem a great thing to encourage?
