THIS Castle in Derbyshire is a very antient Building and by its situation impregnable; being built on a Steep Rock, to which there is but one way of going up, and that is so full of windings that it is near two miles to the top. It formerly belonged to the Peverells; K. Edn d. 3 d. gave it with the Honour & Manour of Castleton to his son John Duke of Lancaster.
