For a truly enchanting day out, visit Bolsover Castle on your
next cottage holiday in the beautiful county of Derbyshire. This
magnificent castle, originally built in the 12th
century, was transformed from an early medieval fortress to a
decadent family home in 17th century, when Sir Charles
Cavendish began his 'Little Castle Project'. Step inside
the finished project as it stands today and marvel at the Little
Castle's astoundingly well-preserved interiors, sumptuous wall
paintings and sophisticated carved fireplaces. Stroll through the
deserted halls and gaze over the Vale of Scarsdale from the Terrace
Range as so many nobles have done before you. Stand in the
magnificent Riding House, with its exquisite roof and viewing
galleries, and imagine the stables as they were over 300 years ago;
can you think of a more enthralling day trip destination on your
Derbyshire cottage holiday?
