CASTLETON, DERBYSHIRE



Here's a picture from a county that I'm fond of: Derbyshire.
This ancient lead - mining village is one of the most popular in the Peak District. There are separate spectacular caverns. The village itself is a delightful cluster of stone cottages and interesting inns, ringed by the limestone hills. It sits beneath the protection of a castle keep known as Peveril Castle. Built in Norman times by William I.
Castleton is a very popular place with visitors. This may be due to Castleton having almost everything a visitor could want. It has spectacular scenery. There are good walks for everyone, a pretty village, and many events throughout the year.

BOURNEMOUTH, DORSET


Bournemouth is one of Dorset's newest towns in more ways than one. Prior to the 19th Century it did not exist, not one single house existed where the town stands today. It is located about 107 miles southwest of London. Dorset is one of England's most unspoilt counties. How about visiting it ??? In the meantime, enjoy this funny picture of SIGNS, which looks like an invitation to a hike.
