The Derwent Valley Junior Football League was formed at the start of the 70/71 season, originally for over 12’s and running in the evenings in March, April and May. Over the years the league has seen many changes and adapted to changing lifestyles with the introduction of mini soccer after 30 years and the change to Sunday fixtures more recently.
Awards are given to the winners in all our league and cup competitions as well as the mini soccer tournaments which have become a popular feature of the season.
The league has provided a fantastic sporting experience for thousands of young people in this area. Great friendships and rivalries have been formed and it has contributed to the positive development of many players giving a sense of pride, self-esteem, and the ability to contribute positively as part of a team.


Blue John Cavern is a series of caverns considered to be the finest range in Great Britain! It is of immense educational interest showing clearly how caverns are formed in the limestone strata and how the limestone itself had much earlier been formed by the deposits on the floors of great oceans.

ASD Jewellers is one of the longest running Blue John workshops in Castleton. For over 40 years, we have built a unique collection of quality Blue John jewellery, set in 18 or 9 carat gold or sterling silver, for the discerning collector to cherish.

Beltonville Farm campsite offers a back to basics vibe with grass pitches for both tents and campervans.
