Bolsover Castle is in the town of Bolsover (grid reference SK471707), in the north-east of the English county of Derbyshire. Built in the early 17th century, the present castle lies on the earthworks and ruins of the 12th-century medieval castle; the first structure of the present castle was built between 1612 and 1617 by Sir Charles Cavendish.[3] The site is now in the care of the English Heritage charity, as both a Grade I listed building[2] and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.[1]
