Winster Market House was the first property to be acquired by the National Trust in the Peak District in 1906 for £50.

It's a lovely brick built listed building and on the first floor is an unmanned information room with interpretation panels detailing the history of the village and a scale model of Winster.

Standing almost in the centre of the main street, Winster Market House is a dominating feature of the village, and stands as testimony to its once thriving past. Winster village itself is interesting to explore on foot, as part of a visit to the Peak District.

The most important prehistoric site of the East Midlands, Arbor Low is a Neolithic henge monument atmospherically set amid high moorland.

Within an earthen bank and ditch, a circle of some 50 white limestone slabs, all now fallen, surrounds a central stone ‘cove’ – a feature found only in major sacred sites. Nearby is enigmatic Gib Hill, a large burial mound. 

Castle established by William fitz Osbern in the late eleventh century. The remains of the great tower date to the first half of the twelfth century. Later remodelled by the Lancasters. Birthplace of Henry V.

This is an unstaffed open site, so there's no booking required!
