Bolsover Castle is an English Heritage Castle in the town of Bolsover in the East Midlands of Britain. It's a castle soaked in history so we took the Gimbal Walk TV cameras and headed straight for the castle grounds to have a look around and soak in the atmosphere!
This full Bolsover Castle tour takes in the whole site from the entrance with it's gift shop and cafe, through to the Little Castle, The Fountain Garden, as well as the Terrace Range and the castle walls.
Whilst walking round Bolsover Castle you can't get caught up in the historic feel of the place and English Heritage have done an outstanding job of looking after, maintaining and caring for this incredible place.
Perched on a ridge high above the Vale of Scarsdale, on the site of a medieval fortress, Bolsover Castle is an extraordinary 17th-century aristocratic retreat. The exquisite ‘Little Castle’ has remarkable wall paintings and interiors, and the Riding House is the earliest such building in England to survive complete.
The castle was founded in the late 11th century by William Peveril, one of William the Conqueror's knights, but it was neglected from the mid-14th century. Its ruins provided the setting for the Little Castle begun in 1612 by Sir Charles Cavendish as a retreat from his principal seat at Welbeck, a few miles away.
The design of the Little Castle was intended to evoke a Norman great tower, which it clearly resembles viewed from a distance, rising sheer from the cliff.
Since 1984 Bolsover Castle has been in the care of English Heritage. The parapets on the wall-walk have recently been restored, offering views out over the landscape, and the Fountain Garden, with the Venus Fountain as its centrepiece, has been replanted with period plants. He Bolsover Castle Horses are now once again a regular sight here.
The Little Castle was created as an extravagant retreat by playboy, poet and courtier, Sir William Cavendish. With medieval-style turrets and towers it was a building designed to surprise and delight.
TV shows filmed here include Antiques Roadshow, Most Haunted (the Bolsover Castle Teddy Bear episode where a TV producer was sent to hospital after an encounter with the Bolsover Castle Haunted Teddy Bear), and the 2008 film 'Summer'

Hello, Bolsover Castle volunteer here! I volunteer as a guide to give visitors information about the castle and the things they can see when they visit. Firstly, thanks for the fantastic video! I really enjoyed watching your walk through the castle, and you're right, when you get the castle to yourself, it's a magical experience. I can also tell you that the entrance at the bottom of the stairs leading to the cellars was used by those who looked after the wine and beer - interestingly, these specific areas are completely separate to the rest of the kitchens, hinting at the special role that those people played, distinct from the other kitchen staff.
Also, the tree in the courtyard is a copper beech tree - planted 400 years ago! It used to have a partner on the other side of the path as well.
I hope we can welcome you again in the future to see the interior of the Little Castle, with even more curious rooms and surprising stories to tell!
the plants and little pom pom looking trees were especially lovely and the fountain is gorgeous!
Thank you so much
What an amazing place! I loved it!
👍 agree!
I can see Bolsover Castle from my house and it is great to see somewhere I know. Well done.

We love Bolsover Castle visited it many times
It's fab isn't it!
I need to go back and film the interior
Bolsover has been on my list for ages, still haven't been. Going to make it a priority after watching this.
Ah nice one! It’s so great on a sunny day to just wander there
Wow, another great informative walk, thanks.
Been there 3 times with various grandchildren the first in 2014 when the wall walk wasn't available, if you can visit on a childrens event day, we went with our grandoson on a Knights and Princess day and he had a great time fighting with plastic swards in the battles, probably aqgainst Elfin Safe Tea these days.
If you are a member of English Heritage a walk round Brodsworth Hall gardens would make a good video, we've actually been there 8 times again with assorted grandchildren.
Brodsworth - will check it out now thanks for the tip!! 👍👍👍
Such a relaxing video. Always look at the castle when I’m a going down the M1. Keep on walking 😀
Thank you! Will do!

Another great video of somewhere I have not seen, thank you.
You're welcome William
Not many people watch my castle videos so appreciate you giving it a go!
This is the castle that can be seen from the M1 motorway, Ive often passed and wondered what the place is like and it certainly doesn’t disappoint.
It's great isn't it!
I need to try and spot it from the M1 now - never seen it from there!
@@GimbalWalkTV it’s quite easy to spot as it’s on top of the hill.
Beautiful video and music.
Many thanks!
