Placed as we are in the lovely Dale of Danby I use both villages of Castleton and Danby equally, it seems we have all elements covered here.
Danby Health Food shop is a little gem of a place, run by The Collings Family.

Always a full house at Stonehouse Bakery
Generally speaking I wouldn’t get too excited about The CoOp!! but our little CoOp shop in Castleton is brilliant. Small but beautifully proportioned it seems to stock everything. A one stop shop that stays open, 7 days a week, 7 til 10. Friendly local staff, I can catch up on all the local news and views in here!

But a little help won't go amiss

Anything's possible!
Newly opened this week in Castleton is Castleton Tea Rooms a gorgeous 1871 Wesleyan Chapel conversion in the centre of the village (just opposite the CoOp). The family business of Angela and Steve Weldon and son Jack. I had delicious cake and coffee and the views are to die for looking south over the picturesque village Bowling Green and straight up the Dale of Danby, and yes, you can see Crag House Farm from there. This is the perfect stop on the circular walk from the barns. The south facing terrace garden is not completed yet but it will be ready in time for Easter. I will report back then with more photos, you can see just how glorious it is now but when spring is on the moors it will be a little bit of heaven with cake.
