Castleton Visitor Centre
About This Museum
Tucked right at the heart of the Peak District, the Castleton Visitor Centre feels less like a traditional museum and more like a welcoming gateway to this wild landscape. It’s your first and best stop for understanding the area's unique character, from its ancient limestone caves to its hillfort-crowned peaks. The displays inside are wonderfully tactile, full of maps and models that make you want to immediately pull on your walking boots. You'll leave not just with a souvenir, but with a genuine sense of what makes this national park so special.

Look for the fascinating geological specimens from the local caverns, including beautiful Blue John stone, and the large-scale relief map that brings the entire Peak District's dramatic topography right to your fingertips.
