• Close up of the entrance to the Peak Cavern. The dramatic entrance is believed to be the result of part of the cave system collapsing. Inside the cave are the remnants of the workings and dwellings of ropemakers from the 19th century. Ropemaking was undertaken in the cave entrance for over 400 years. It was traditional for a newlywed wife in Castleton to receive a clothes line made from the local rope as a gift. This entrance to Perveril Castle was originally over the top of this chasm. The lower bailey (of which only earthworks remain) was to the right and the main castle area is on top of the hill to the left.
