Codnor Castle remains, Castle Lane, Aldercar and Langley Mill - Amber Valley
Castle ruins and earthworks dating to the early C13 and later. Formerly affected by open-cast coal mining. A major repair programme was completed in 2008. The Codnor Castle Heritage Trust is carrying out maintenance and running public events with the owner's permission. The Lower Court east wall is in danger of collapse and has been temporarily supported. The Trust has been awarded a National Lottery Heritage Fund grant to explore options for both castle and farm house. The owner has submitted planning proposals for the repair and residential conversion of the farm house and barns.
