Harder than it looks. Easy to off track, but straightforward to get back on again. Beautiful scenery on untrodden paths. Best when dry

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.

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.

Called at cafe not cheap

Nice circular walk mainly on solid paths

Updated 2024, access to the castle is now severely limited due to the new land owner, can only be viewed from a fenced path across the field. The Codnor castle heritage trust is no longer involved with on site activities.

The castle is on private land, having been sold off. English Heritage maintains the ruins...but there's no access to the site other than a footpath, which goes past it.
