Bolton Castle

Bolton Castle is located in Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales. It was built in 1399, and perhaps its major claim to fame is that Mary Queen of Scots was held there for a period of time. The castle was damaged in the English Civil War, but is interesting to look around and has pleasant garden and a vineyard too.

Bolton Castle is a ruin, but an impressive one

I wonder how many people would have worked here when it was in its prime!
