WAGFINDER No photo yet · the business adds these when they claim

Cavendish fantasy castle on a ridge above the Vale of Scarsdale, with a wall walk and a long view west over the valley. English Heritage allow dogs on leads in the grounds only: the Little Castle, the Riding Range and the horsemanship displays are closed to them. Worth timing a visit round the terrace rather than the interiors if the dog is with you.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs on leads in the grounds only. Not allowed in the Little Castle, Riding Range or Cavalier Horsemanship displays.

Livestock — leads on

Eleven kilometres, just under seven miles, and two and a half to three hours between two great ruined houses, up and down through fields with steep sections and stiles to climb. Start at Bolsover Castle, where the English Heritage car park is the only sensible parking and the cafe and toilets are the only facilities on the route. English Heritage warns that livestock may be grazing along the way, so a lead is needed throughout; dogs on leads are welcome in the castle grounds but not in the Little Castle, Riding Range or Cavalier displays, and the route is not suitable for pushchairs or a dog that cannot manage stiles.

Nobody has written one for Bolsover Castle. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
