Castleton is blessed with its own state-of-the-art information centre which was opened to the public in April 2004. The building is also home to a museum that is used by Castleton Historical Society to feature a range of exhibitions about local village life through the ages. There is also a shop: apart from information about Peak District attractions, activities, events and accommodation, the Castleton Centre sells a wide range of books, maps, guides, clothing, toys and gifts.
