Peveril Castle, and entrance to the Peak Cavern, 1854. Creator: Unknown

Peveril Castle, and entrance to the Peak Cavern, 1854. Dramatic scenery in Derbyshire. The Duke of Devonshire is the present Constable of the Peak Castle. The name of "Peveril of the Peak" is no longer in use...Peveril Castle stands on a high rock, overlooking the village of Castleton...A better position for a fortress it is hard to conceive, all its sides being impregnable but one, and that is so steep as to have rendered a winding path necessary to aid the ascent. The castle yard is very extensive, and is enclosed by a wall, in part destroyed, and overgrown with ivy...The entrance to the Peak Cavern, situated at the foot of Peveril Castle, is singularly regular for a natural arch...This magnificent natural lobby has been appropriated by certain twine manufacturers, and the whole of the ground is covered over with their works, much to the dissatisfaction of all persons of taste who visit the Cavern'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
