Bolsover Castle – English Heritage
Castle Street, Bolsover, S44 6PR. England
Enjoy a visit to Bolsover Castle and walk in the footsteps of Charles I who visited prior to the English Civil War. Explore the Little Castle designed to look like a Norman keep, and see if your pupils can identify the features that make this an impressive mansion rather than a defensive structure. Take in the stunning views from the restored Wall Walk and visit the Riding House Range, created in the 1600s as a place to train horses in the spectacular art of dressage. Lead your class on an interactive tour using our free multimedia guide, bringing to life the people, buildings, art and architecture of Bolsover Castle during the Stuart period.
