Taken from the site of the Old Hall, just outside the keep, looking North East [towards the Hope Valley] Castleton is visible over the remains of the North curtain wall. The hill continues down to Castleton, at a similar angle to that visible in the bailey.

Sad to see some litter ... at the base of the keep / west curtain wall [This is thought to be a modern - 19th century - rebuild, as the stones are not laid in the way they would have been in the 11th or 12th centuries]. One of the grounds staff was litter-picking and I added this to his "recyclable" bag.

From the lowest part of the bailey, looking more or less directly North. Castleton is at the bottom of the hill on which the castle is perched, visible to the right of the higher section of curtain wall.

View North East [from just inside the bailey] looking towards the Hope valley. Castleton is visible in the left foreground, over the truncated curtain wall.

Looking eastwards from the site of the State Apartments [Inner Court] to the remains of the Outer Court's curtain wall. Just this side of the geese is a dip in the ground, this marks the site of the moat that separated the two "Courts".

Tower on the curtain wall has been partially destroyed. This damage was part of the slighting ordered when the castle was captured (by treachery, after a long siege) in 1645 by Parliamentary forces. . [209 views on 21Feb2024 when added to HWW]
