    Hiking

    The Riding House at Bolsover Castle is one of the earliest surviving indoor horse arenas in Britain. It's a landmark in British equestrianism and is still used for demonstrations and events.

    Built in the 1630s, likely by William Cavendish, the "father of modern dressage", the building was renovated in the 1660s after the Civil War and restored in 1999/2000.

    The Riding House features a magnificent roof and viewing galleries andan arena with a central training "pillar" used to draw horses in circles.

    The old stables block is now home to an exhibition on the Duke of Newcastle.
