Welcome to Castle Gresley

Castle Gresley is a small village located in the South Derbyshire district of Derbyshire, England. The village is situated on the banks of the River Trent and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its historic castle, which was built in the 12th century and was once a stronghold of the powerful de Gresley family.

The castle was originally built as a motte and bailey castle, with a wooden keep and palisade. In the 13th century, the castle was rebuilt in stone, and a great hall and other buildings were added. The castle was used as a residence by the de Gresley family until the 16th century, when it fell into disrepair. Today, only the ruins of the castle remain, but they are still an impressive sight and attract many visitors to the village.

In addition to the castle ruins, Castle Gresley has several other historic buildings, including the 13th-century St. George's Church and the 17th-century Gresley Old Hall. The village also has a number of shops, pubs, and restaurants, making it a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. With its rich history and beautiful surroundings, Castle Gresley is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in English history and culture.
