YHA Castleton Losehill Hall started life as a gentleman’s residence for Squire Ashton, the son of the family who lived in Castleton Hall in the centre of the village, coincidentally the home of the YHA before we moved up to Losehill.
Built in 1882, it has been extended since to include the arched mews building. The formal gardens were laid out in Victorian times and have a well preserved boundary. The parkland is a scheduled ancient monument as it is an example of a Saxon/medieval ridge and furrow field system. The ridges are still clearly visible as you stroll around the park.
The village of Castleton dates back 900 years, it was built around Peveril Castle by William Peveril, son of William the conqueror and has much of its medieval grid pattern and town ditch still intact and preserved. The hillfort on Mam Tor is older still, built 3000 years ago by the Celtic Brigante tribe. It is a great place to watch the sunrise or set. There is a replica celtic settlement in the grounds of Losehill Hall.
