Bolsover Castle Derbyshire

Bolsover CastleBolsover Castle, perched high on a wooded hillside near Chesterfield is an enchanting place to visit.

William the Conqueror gave Bolsover Castle to his bailiff, William Peveril, who is believed to have built a keep where Bolsover Castle now stands. The castle was first leased to Sir Charles Cavendish, Bess of Hardwicks' son, in 1608, and five years later he became the owner. Employing Robert Smythson as his architect, Cavendish set about re-building the castle. The tower, known today as the little castle, was completed c1621, and building work continued with their sons adding the terrace and riding school ranges.
Bolsover castle was eventually given to the nation by the 7th Duke of Portland in 1945 and is now in the care of English Heritage.

Visitors can enjoy the elaborate fireplaces, panelling and wall paintings, and see the early indoor riding school linked to the castle with a range of buildings including a gallery.
