Castleton has long been known for its Carboniferous limestone, its caves and for the Blue John semi-precious stone mined here. Now owned by the National trust and is designated an SSSI, unfortunately this means that fossils can only be observed and must not be collected.

Set within the rolling Peak District countryside, Parkhouse Hill, near Earl Sterndale is a beautiful location with various types limestone reef fossils. The view from the top of the hill is nothing short of stunning.
