About the village of Castleton
Castleton is a delightful cluster of stone cottages and interesting inns, ringed by the limestone hills. It sits beneath the protection of a castle keep known as Peveril Castle.

Built in Norman times by William I's illegitimate son William Peveril, it was to protect the king's rights to the forest that then covered vast areas of the Peak District.

Aside from the castle, some of the older buildings in the village are the Castle Hotel, one of 6 pubs, dating back to the 17th century and Castleton Hall, a fine 17th century house, now a Youth Hostel.

St Edmund's Church may originally have been a garrison church to the castle. It has a broad Norman Chancel Arch, Perp west tower, ashlar faced with diagonal buttresses, battlements and eight pinnacles. It was heavily restored in 1837 when the aisle was removed. It contains some excellently preserved Box pews from the 17th century with dates on.

Oak Apple Day, the 29th May, has been celebrated as Castleton Garland Day for many a year. It is a time of considerable pageantry with people dressing in Stuart fashions and choosing a King and a Queen for the day. They lead a procession through the village, the King covered in a great cone of flowers. Girls dance and everyone welcomes in the summer.
