Elvaston Castle Main Gates

Highlight • Monument

These gates are chained & padlocked shut, however if you are inside trying to get out, then we found that the low wall to the side was easy to clamber over

Elvaston Castle Local Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

A nature reserve worth visiting while exploring the grounds at Elvaston Castle - lots of little paths making one big loop. Very peaceful!

Walkers only though - no dogs or bikes allowed in the nature reserve.
