Interesting castle! The path way up is steep and challenging but the views from top is truly fantastic. Take your picnic with you then enjoy the view comfortably at the castle ground. No parking lot available on the site, you need to park in the town.

We had a wonderful day at Peveril Castle. The path up is quite steep, but once you reach the top the views across the Peak District are absolutely breathtaking. The keep and grounds are beautiful and really give a sense of the castle’s long and fascinating history.nThe site is well managed by English Heritage, with clear information boards that bring the past to life. Even though the castle is ruined, it remains an impressive and atmospheric place to explore.nIt’s a perfect mix of dramatic scenery and rich heritage — a visit we’ll definitely remember and would happily recommend.

This castle is an absolute must if you're in the area! The walk up is a bit steep, but it's short and very manageable, I did it easily with my children, including my youngest who is only 5 years old.nnOnce at the top, the views are absolutely breathtaking, truly worth the climb. You can explore inside the castle and capture some fantastic photos.nnThere is an entry fee, but it's very reasonable. A public car park is located just 10 minutes away, making access quite convenient.nnHighly recommended for families and anyone who enjoys a bit of history with amazing scenery!nnLet me know if you'd like to add the castle’s name or location for a more personalized review.nnChatGPT can make mistakes.

Honestly such a beautiful and vast view right next to the site named 'the devil's arse'. This location does have a steep uphill walk to get there but once you are there it is breathtaking! Worth the visit and is right next to many other attractions.

Very interesting castle. It's a bit of a climb to get there up a meandering hill, but there are plenty of benches to rest on, on the way up. Lots of info boards relating the history of the castle and also a star volunteer, Brian, who has a wealth of info. The views over Castleton and countryside are stunning. Well worth the climb.
