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.[2][3]
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.[4]
