Downe Arms is a real pub in Castleton, and it is here so you know it exists. But we have not been able to find a dog policy for it that we would stand behind, so we are not going to guess at one. No verdict, no stamp, no date.
If this is your business, tell us whether dogs are welcome and we will put a stamp on it — free, and it stays free. Claim this page.

These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.
The fire, the snug, the water bowl by the door.
A few dishes and what they cost, so people arrive knowing.
Can the dog actually sleep here, and what does it cost.
Which rooms, which times, whether the whippet gets a biscuit.
Claiming fills every box above, and lets you reply to reviews when they open. £15 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.

A 5.4-mile circuit with 190 metres of ascent and about two and a half hours, lifting straight out of the village onto Commondale Moor before returning down the old moor road to the Esk; the climb is steady rather than steep but the moor top is boggy in every month with an R in it. It starts by the shops at the top of Castleton, where there is free roadside parking, and Castleton Moor station on the Esk Valley line sits at the bottom of the hill for anyone arriving by train. Commondale Beck gives a drink near the halfway point and the moor is broad, open, off-lead country, but sheep roam loose across the whole of it and this is grouse moor, so leads go on for the open sections from 1 March to 31 July.
Six miles and three and a quarter hours, climbing the old coffin road to Hollins Cross on the Great Ridge then dropping to Hope and returning along the Peakshole Water. The Castleton visitor centre car park is the start and the walk can be split by the Hope Valley train, which takes dogs free between Hope and Hathersage. Sheep graze the ridge and the valley fields, so a two-metre fixed lead is needed near stock and from 1 March to 31 July on the access land, but the Peakshole Water beside the last mile is shallow, clean and made for a hot dog.
Nobody has written one for Downe Arms. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
