Replacing an 11th century Norman fort, the Peverils erected a 12th century castle on the site, which was later replaced by a larger castle, stables and manege, and a much later ‘little castle’ designed for luxurious entertaining of guests. Both castles (now owned by English Heritage) stand empty, the ‘little castle’ at least maintaining a roof, some furnishings and a maintained garden, whilst the larger castle is in a state of ruin. Both stand high on a hill overlooking Bolsover and provide impressive views of the surrounding areas of Derbyshire.

Some great pictures – seems a little spooky atmosphere is reflected in your photos.

Thank you. There was some nice winter light today. Apparently Bolsover is very haunted so that might be reflected in some of the images.
