Museum in Derbyshire
The creation of a horse‑mad Cavalier playboy, Bolsover Castle is something special. Don’t miss the playful ‘Little Castle’ with its Star Chamber and Marble Closet set with striking replica furnishings. You can explore the whole building, from its basement kitchen to its top-floor bedchambers, with a multimedia guide to bring it all to life. Outside, stroll around the Fountain Garden, designed around a statue of Venus, and full of flowers that were fashionable in Bolsover’s heyday. Elsewhere, William Cavendish’s passion for training horses is reflected in the immense indoor Riding House and great stables. Children can run wild in the play area inspired by the castle’s architecture, and you can keep an eye on them from the tearoom.
