Castleton Visitors Centre, Tourism office and museum in High Peak, England
Castleton Visitors Centre is a tourism office and museum in the Peak District that serves as the main information point for the national park area. It houses displays about local mining heritage, landscape features, and community life, arranged across several exhibition areas.
The centre was completely rebuilt in 2017 and opened as the primary information hub for Peak District visitors. This transformation added digital features while maintaining focus on local historical collections and landscape information.
The displays reflect how mining shaped daily life and work in High Peak for generations. You can see how local people adapted to living in a hillside community.
The centre sits in central Castleton and is easily reached on foot from the village core. Parking is available nearby, and the indoor spaces are accessible for visitors with different mobility needs.
The centre features an interactive digital wall, the first of its kind installed in a British national park. This technology allows visitors to explore park information in a novel, hands-on way.
