Bolsover Castle
Dominating the countryside from its hilltop, Bolsover occupies the site of a medieval castle built by the Peverel family shortly after the Norman Conquest. Sir Charles Cavendish bought the old castle in 1612 and began work on his ‘Little Castle' project. Sir Charles intended the house as a retreat from the world to an imaginary golden age of chivalry and pleasure. His son William, later Duke of Newcastle, inherited the Little Castle in 1616 and set about its completion, assisted by the architect John Smythson. The exquisitely carved fireplaces and recently conserved murals and painted panelling of its interiors take the visitor on an allegorical journey from earthly concerns to heavenly (and erotic) delights. In the Venus Garden the fountain, with 23 new statues, plays again for the first time in centuries. William also added the vast and stately rooms of the Terrace Range, now a dramatic roofless shell. Finally he constructed the cavernous Riding House with its magnificent roof, perhaps the finest surviving indoor riding school in Britain: here he indulged his passion for training ‘great horses'. There is also a Discovery Centre in the Stables, with audio-visual displays. Bolsover Castle regularly hosts living history events, open-air concerts and evening plays. It also offers an interactive audio tour.
