Bolsover Castle
Bolsover Castle is an early 17th-century country house-style castle on the site of earlier medieval earthworks in Bolsover, Derbyshire. Built from 1612 onward by Sir Charles Cavendish with later alterations, it includes the Little Castle and a long Terrace Range and is now managed by English Heritage as a visitor site.

As it stood in 1676
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched atop its earthwork mound, the castle presents a compact group of ashlar stone ranges: a square, multi-storey 'Little Castle' with battlemented parapets, corner turrets and small white domed cupolas, linked to a long Terrace Range of crenellated parapets, pinnacles and regular rectangular mullioned windows. The east range appears as a gabled façade with large window openings. The whole complex sits above a wooded slope and retains clear silhouette of towers, parapets and stepped terraces.
