This has to be a joke right? There's nothing here but a sign. Not even a nice walk or views. Don't waste your time
The entrance is hard to locate and there's little in the way of signage or information. There's no parking.nnThis is because it was a ruin even in the later medieval period and so there's little to see.nnNone of this is a criticism, but the bottom line is there's little to delay you here.nnThe mill and associated housing at nearby Belper is a better bet if your time is limited.
Got to say just joined national trust, and this is the 1st place we went to. Well, I won't be going there again, put it that way. There's not much to see or do. I think the best bit was just walking up the steps to the non-existent ruins that, for some reason, have been covered in tarmac so you can barely even see what's left of the ruins. It was that bad I didn't bother taking any pictures, I would rather forget we ever went there.nIf you have a dog then yes it's a fantastic area to let them do there business, as long as you clean up after them of course
A good idea to preserve history but there really isn't much to see but the view. That said if you make it part of a walk taking in other places of interest then it worththe visit if only for a place to sit down .
Interesting castle site on A6 north of Duffield. You have to bring your imagination to this place, as there is very little remaining of this 1071 castle. It is free to enter at any time.nnThe plot was granted to the de Ferrers family by William the Conqueror. That alone makes the location fascinating. I found myself recalling my legal studies as regards the origination of English law.nnClimb the stairs to the site, and there is an information board with the 200-year history of the castle, and an artist’s impression of how the building looked see my photographs.nnYou probably need 30 minutes or less here.nnThere is no parking on site. We parked in a side street first left after the castle when travelling north.
