Riber castle has been used for a few different things over the years. It has been a house, an MOD storage site, a Zoo and a film set for a film called Dead Mans Shoes. I visited just before xmas although I don't remember the exact date. Pics are in no particular order.

Thanks for looking
 
Quite a cool place, I did it about a year ago along with Alton towers and Gulivers kingdom :mrgreen:
 
I love looking at this castle. It's great to see all the different perspectives from various people's reports. Lovely place.
Yeh, those sillouette pics are neat. :)
 
Love seeing that place when going to Matlock. You can see it for miles around. You've captured the place really well, love the castle with the red and dark skies behind. Looking forward to seeing more of your reports and pics.

Cheers,

:) Sal
