Elvaston Castle Country Park
Elvaston Castle Country Park has over 200 acres of woodland, parkland and fascinating formal gardens to explore.
At the heart of the park is the castle building, which despite its name, is really a country house. Today, due to its need for restoration, the castle is only occassionally open to the public (please call the park for details of our castle tours).
Elvaston is a great place to visit for a walk, bird watching, a bite to eat in the castle tea rooms or a picnic with friends or family.
The park office is open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Sunday. The grounds are open from 9am to dusk all year round.
The car park (parking charge) is off the B5010 Elvaston to Borrowash road. The site is flat, but not all paths are surfaced. The car park is open during summer from 9am to 8pm (some events mean the car park will be closed - please check for details) and in winter it is open from 9am to 5pm.
The shop is open from 11am to 4.30pm Monday to Sunday and Bank Holidays Easter-October, it is only open on weekends from November to March.
