Bolsover castle

le, fontin

On the 28th of June we went to Bolsover castle about a 30 minute drive away. Bolsover castle was built in 1613 by Sir Charles Cavendish  who had three children  , when he died in 1617 the  his son William Cavendish inherited the Castle and completed the interiors with the help of the architect Smythson the vast and stately Terrace Range overlooking the Vale of Scarsdale, now a dramatic roofless shell.To show off his achievement, in 1634 he hosted Charles 1 and Queen Henrietta Maria

During the Civil War William fought for the Royalists, but he was defeated at the Battle of Marston Moor in 1644 and went into exile. On his return in 1660 he rebuilt the state apartment in the Terrace Range and built the cavernous Riding House Range with its magnificent roof and viewing galleries. The Riding House is one of the earliest in England to survive complete and a landmark in British equestrianism.
