Peveril Castle is an example of a Norman Castle in the Peak District Village of Castleton in Derbyshire. It stands high above the Village on a Hillside and can be seen from many miles around. It occupies a position, flanked by the steep slopes of Cavedale, which, geographically speaking, is a natural defensive position.
Any visitor to this beautiful part of the Peak District National Park cannot fail to see the ruins of this Castle, as it dominates both the Village itself and the surrounding Valley. Today this Castle is mainly just ruins, but there is a sufficient amount of it left to give a good idea of how the Castle would have looked in its prime.

Advantages: A great interesting day out Disadvantages: none apart from a very long walk
I have been reviewing a lot of DVDs recently but I had to say a few words about a place I visited again the other day.

I paid the admission price in the information centre/ shop before standing at the foot ...
Advantages: Excellent performances and a clever story Disadvantages: A bit bleak and depressing! Not really a disadvantage for me but not to everyone's taste
Seven - or Se7en as it was marketed here - is directed by David Fincher and stars Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman. Freeman plays a retiring cop hoping to escape the eternally dreary and grim city in which he has been working with the homicide squad for many years. Looking to replace him is an ambitious young police officer played by Pitt. Between them they try to track down the culprit behind a series of killings based on the seven deadly sins getting ever closer to the deadly psychopath.
This is the film that really made me take notice of David Fincher as a director. The rainy city provides a classic film noir backdrop with its depressing anonymity. Almost as soon as the film begins you share the weariness of Freeman's Detective Somerset as the drudgery and unpleasantness of his onerous task of policing this foul city really hits home. By ...
