Brief description

"Willersley Castle is a late 18th-century country mansion above the River Derwent at Cromford, Derbyshire, outside Peak District National Park.[1] The castle has been a Grade II* listed building since April 2000.

Standing in 60 acres (240,000 m2) of grounds, the Classical-style castellated house is three storeys with a seven-bay frontage, the central bay flanked by full-height round towers.[2] In recent years, the property operated as a hotel but was permanently closed and listed for sale in summer 2020."

"Willersley Castle was built in 1792 by Sir Richard Arkwright, the famous entrepreneur & inventor, from the industrial revolution. The estate offers exceptional facilities within a 65 acre estate on the edge of the Peak District. The grounds consist of woodlands, fields and gardens inhabited by an abundance of wildlife; as well as the the River Derwent which flows along 2km of the estate.

Willersley Castle provides a safe and secure environment for schools to enjoy outdoor pursuits. The centre operates within a very compact central area with the majority of the activities taken place within 10 acres."
