Bolton Castle

Bolton Castle
Bolton Castle is one of the best preserved medieval castles in the country and dominates Wensleydale with its commanding presence. The castle was built by Sir Richard le Scrope who was Lord Chancellor of England during the reign of Richard II, and is still owned by a direct descendent Lord Bolton. Construction of the castle began in 1378 and took around 18 years to build. It was designed as a fortified residence rather than being simply a military base. The castle’s most famous resident was Mary Queen of Scots who was held in custody there in 1568.

You saw it in better weather than I, a few year since when I stood in the yard under torrential rain. Great capture. Well done.
Have a safe weekend. Herb
