Riber Castle. Derbyshire. Oct 2017
Riber Castle, 19th-century Grade II Listed Country House, overlooking Matlock, Derbyshire.
It's now being converted into upwards of 46 luxury apartments served by helicopter from Manchester Airport. Underground car parking, an ultra-modern swimming pool on the site of Smedley’s bath house, together with raised flower beds, croquet lawns and an orangery built on the site of their original forebears that will overlook some of the finest views in the Peak District. It stands around 853 feet above sea level, high above the Derwent Valley, with its dramatic silhouette of 90 foot high towers and 1450 foot of battlements.
Designated as World Heritage Site: 22 June 1950
A World Heritage Site is a place that is listed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as of special cultural or physical significance.
I took this photo from the Victoria Prospect Tower, Heights of Abraham, approximately one mile away, line of sight.
