The small circular walled garden at the front of the Little Castle features a Venus fountain in the centre and 1630s period planting around the edges.

Fantastic views from the long Gallery side of the castle and from the corner where it meets the Little Castle.

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.

Impressive building but run as an adults only hotel so not easily accessible on a bike ride. Run separately from Thoresby Park but can be viewed from the Park which is open to all.
