Situated on Old Mam Tor Road near Castleton, this historic landmark features an iron-tyred gritstone crushing wheel dating from around 1823. Operated by horses along a circular iron track, the crusher was used to process ore at what is thought to be one of England's oldest lead mines and the oldest recorded mine in Derbyshire. Set against dramatic views leading up towards Mam Tor, it provides an evocative stopping point for scenic walks through the valley.
