Castle Donnington
lies in Derbyshire, a county associated with the Peak District
(as well as parts of Staffordshire, Yorkshire and Cheshire),
while the northern part of the county overlaps into the Pennines.
Wedged in between Manchester, Sheffield and Derby, the landscape
comes in two forms with the harsh grey gritstone of the Dark
Peak contrasting with the pale southern limestone hills of the
White Peak. Here the deep-forested dales are populated with small
stone villages, walking trails along former railway routes, complex
cave systems and spectacular historic country houses, the seats
of the Dukes of Devonshire and Rutland.
