Willersley Castle. Cromford. Derbyshire

            Willersley Castle today.
Willersley Castle is a late 18th-century country mansion. A Grade II Listed Building situated above the River Derwent at Cromford, Derbyshire Peak District. Originally named "Willersley Hall", it was built on the slopes of Wild Cat Tor, 400 feet (120 m) above sea level, for the occupation of industrialist Sir Richard Arkwright by architect William Thomas, following the purchase of the estate in 1782. The Arkwright family lived here until 1922. Now it's a 3 Star hotel overlooking the River Derwent, and is a short walk from the Masson Mills Shopping Village and Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World Heritage Site.
