Castleton, Civil parish and historic village in High Peak, England
Castleton sits at the western end of Hope Valley in the Peak District National Park, surrounded by limestone hills and gritstone landscapes.
The Norman-era Peveril Castle, completed in 1086 for William Peverel, stands above the village as a testament to medieval defensive architecture.
The Church of England Primary School maintains educational traditions while St Edmund's Church preserves its 17th-century box pews and 13th-century tracery.
The village offers multiple accommodations, from hotels to self-catering cottages, with regular bus connections to neighboring towns in Derbyshire.
The area contains the world's only deposits of Blue John stone, displayed in several show caverns including Peak Cavern and Speedwell Cavern.
