Peveril Castle: A Remarkable Norman Fort in Castleton, Peak District, Derbyshire, UK

[](video_url)

Welcome to Stone Age Productions! In this video, we take you on an adventure to the imposing ruins of Peveril Castle in the heart of Derbyshire’s Peak District. Standing high above the picturesque village of Castleton, Peveril Castle is one of England’s earliest Norman fortresses, with its keep built by Henry II in 1176[^1^].

Once you make the short climb up to this hilltop castle, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views over the Hope Valley and Castleton[^1^]. Explore the remains of the keep, including the garderobe, and immerse yourself in the history of this medieval stronghold.

Discover the fascinating story of Peveril Castle as the administrative center of the Royal Forest of the Peak, a royal hunting preserve since the 11th century[^1^]. Displays in the visitor center shed light on the castle’s important role in the region’s history.

Peveril Castle is located on a limestone outcrop, surrounded by an ancient landscape. Just 2 km to the west lies Mam Tor, a Bronze Age hill fort, and 2 miles (3 km) to the east is the Roman fort of Navio[^1^]. The valley’s natural line of communication and its rich mineral resources, especially lead, made it a strategically significant area[^1^].

The imposing ruins of Peveril Castle stand high above the pretty village of Castleton in the heart of Derbyshire’s Peak District. Mentioned in the Domesday survey, Peveril Castle is one of England’s earliest Norman fortresses. The keep was built by Henry II in 1176.
There is a short climb up to this hilltop castle but once up there you enjoy the breathtaking views over the Hope Valley and Castleton. Explore the remains of the keep including the garderobe.
Displays in the visitor centre tell the story of Peveril as the administrative focus of the Royal Forest of the Peak, a royal hunting preserve since the 11th century. Peveril Castle stands on a limestone outcrop in the midst of an ancient landscape. 2 km to the west, is Mam Tor, a Bronze Age hill fort, and 2 miles (3 km) to the east at Brough-on-Noe is the Roman fort of Navio. The valley formed a natural line of communication and had extra importance due to valuable mineral resources in the area, particularly lead.
