Dramatic ruins of an early Norman castle guarding the Peak forest . Access is up a steep slope . Run by English heritage.

Good bit of history

O que tem de bom? Tem História! O que sobrou de uma construção do século XI e que foi utilizada por cerca de três séculos. Uma linda vista lá de cima, de todo o lugarejo de Castleton
