Highlight • Historical Site

5.92 km

In 1266 King Henry III destroyed one of England’s largest medieval castles. Today, all that remains of Duffield Castle are the foundations, the view and its stories.

The tiny 1 hectare site, nestled within the village of Duffield, Derbyshire is now bounded on all sides by housing and roads, but it is still a place to enjoy, relax in and soak up the history.

Duffield Village Highlights

Highlight • Religious Site

Duffield is a large village in the Amber Valley region of Derbyshire. It has many striking buildings, such as the grand Duffield Hall, and once was adorned by a Norman castle, of which there are scant remains today.

Nearby Kedleston and Allestree Parks offer beautiful walks, whilst the Peak District National Park is only a short drive away, if you fancy something a bit wilder.

There are plenty of places to eat and drink, as well as accommodation options. It has a train station on the Midland line between Derby and Leeds.
