Bolsover

22 August 2006 by Tim 2 Comments

Today we went to Bolsover Castle. It is only two villages away, so of course, we haven’t been there in the six years since we moved here. Signed up for family membership to English Heritage while we were there (15 months for the price of 12).
High point for Big was the tree, which is a very large tree indeed. I am ashamed to say I didn’t notice what brand of tree it was. That is the trouble with trees, they don’t have labels on the outside like chavwear so you are never sure what they are, unless an apple falls on your head.
High point for me was the fountain. Which is just about the rudest I have seen anywhere.
The castle was well worth the trip and I think we are pretty sure to go back, especially since we aren’t going to have to pay to get in next time.
There were a number of excellent models of the castle, all in all there is rather too much to take in in one go. Worth it just for the views.
