Details: The tower of this Norman stronghold still stands to its original height - Peveril castle, standing sentinel high above the handsome village of Castleton, affords expansive views across the broad Hope Valley floor across to the distant hills of Mam Tor, Hollins Cross and Lose Hill.

Founded shortly after the Norman Conquest of 1066 by one of King William's most trusted knights and son of William the Conqueror, William Peveril - the castle played an crucial role in guarding the Peak Forest area.
