The Peak Sightseer is an open top bus tour that runs from Chatsworth House to Bakewell and Castleton with some feeder trips available from Meadowhead and Chesterfield. You'll get to enjoy a grandstand view of some stunning Peak District scenery. There are also some great pubs along the route too...

We'll be joining the feeder bus from Woodseats Library at 09:58 through to Chatsworth, then staying on for the Blue route tour through to Castleton.

Having done the sightseeing bit, we'll be working our way back towards Chatsworth calling in pubs in villages along the way with options in Castleton, Hope, Hathersage, Grindleford, Calver and Baslow. We can then return to Woodseats or Chesterield using one of the feeder buses for connections to Dronfield.
