Perched high on a hilltop overlooking Castleton, Peveril Castle features the dramatic ruins of a square keep constructed by Henry II in 1176. Reached via a steep, winding ascent, the site offers visitors historic remains to explore alongside picnic areas that take in views of the surrounding landscape. A visitor centre with a shop and facilities is located at the foot of the hill before the climb.
