Castleton is a picturesque village situated in the heart of the Peak District National Park in Derbyshire, England. Dating back to the 11th century, the village grew around Peveril Castle, a Norman fortress that still overlooks the settlement from its hilltop position.

The area is known for its significant geological features, including several show caves such as Peak Cavern, Speedwell Cavern, and Treak Cliff Cavern. These caves have played an important role in the village's history, both as tourist attractions and as sites of mineral mining. Castleton is particularly famous for Blue John, a semi-precious mineral found nowhere else in the world.

The village maintains its historical character with traditional limestone buildings, ancient streets, and a well-preserved medieval church. Its cultural heritage is evident in local traditions, including the annual Garland Ceremony, while its surrounding landscape has long inspired artists and writers.
