The Castle Inn, Castleton, Derbyshire

Advantages: Lovely setting, good atmospher, Historic
Disadvantages: Can get very busy, Food is only average

The Castle Inn is one of several Public Houses that can be found in the Derbyshire Town of Castleton in the Peak District National Park. It is located right in the heart of the Town, at the bottom of the hillside where Peveril Castle is perched, overlooking Castleton. This location leaves the visitor in no doubt how this Public House derived its name and the sign outside here has a picture of a Castle on it, that somewhat resembles that of Peveril Castle. Due to its location within the Town, the Castle is generally the busiest Pub in Castleton. If the weather is fine this is one of the few places which has a large beer garden and the advantage of the beer garden here is that it has wonderful views of the Castle. From the outside this beer garden is sheltered by trees and shrubs so only the tops of the red and white umbrellas are ...

Review of Castle Hotel, Castleton

Who's castle?

Advantages: Funny and entertaining
Disadvantages: They never win which is very frustrating

Takeshi's castle is a Japanese game show which is very similar to Total Wipeout although it's very dated. The show starts out with 100 contestants who battle it out by running assault courses and participating in different challenges before faces the final challenge and being in with a chance of winning one million yen. The show is ridiculously hard and it does make the watcher wonder if they don't actually have the prize funds at the end. My favourite challenge throughout the show is where the contestant has to run through doors but some of the doors are glued shut so if they choose the wrong one then they end up crashing into it. Craig Charles narrates the UK version of the show and I have to say that he is very funny with some of the things he comes out with. He adds a whole new level to it and makes it all the more fun to ...

Review of Takeshi's Castle

The most haunted castle in Britain

Advantages: Beautiful castle and grounds
Disadvantages: None

all eerie and chilling. You can visit the Great Hall which is very impressive with its stone floor, tapestries, armour and weapons. You will see active restoration of the masonry and plaster as the great hall and state rooms are being brought back to life. The Edward 1st Room is the most ancient State Room in the Castle. Here, the Lords of the castle were secluded up high and well above the stench from the moats below. The room is named after the visit of "Proud Edward, Hammer of the Scots" in 1298, on his way to the battle of Falkirk where he captured William Wallace (Brave Heart), who had 'visited' the previous year, burning women and children in the local church. The James 1st Room, named after the King's Royal visit to Chillingham in 1603, is one of a suite of three rooms (James 1, Plaque, New Dining Room) built specially ...
