.....zooming down onto the pretty little village of Castleton from Peveril Castle, you can see the street leading to the main street ....and besides the church which is obvious, I can see three pubs! lol! two on the left side of the road and one at the end! anyone fancy a pub crawl? :) During the week the village is pretty quiet, but at weekend people visit the village and the outstanding surrounding countryside, hence all the traffic. Not all villages are like this, but Castleton does make it's living from tourism and is filled with little gift shops, cafes, pubs and has it's own little museum and of course the castle, if you have the energy to climb the steep incline.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round?? Picture Purrrfect .
Did you notice the vehicles are parked on the wrong side of the street? lol I just love photo's like this that puts things in perspective. Great vantage point the castle. Mahaps that's why it was built there. Thanks for the view Patti. Now Rub a dub dub, I'm off to the Pub.

Cool looking village...I could live there...maybe I can be the village idiot. A fine shot.

As Jerry said "a very fine shot", however he will have to fight me for the title of "village idiot". ;-) Nice and crisp/clear.

No need to ask what contribution you made to the local economy then. Good job you and Bob weren't there at the same time, you'd have drank the place dry.
I always wonder what life's like in little places like this. A longing to leave London I think. I like your aerial view and the structural elements you've got into it. It's amazing where you get to on your hikes!

I am late arriving, but I can tell you, like the others have, this is a great shot of very pretty village. Those pubs must be heaven to all those who climed up to see the castle :-). Cheers!

A lovely view of this charming village. I love all those houses and structures and the fact that there's lots of trees. Great capture Patti. :)

Wonderful rooftop image Patti. Tree or even more pubs for a little village, think people there are very thirsty (as pubs can't exist by only a good conversation), lol. Regards, Cornelius
