Ian Morgan tells the story of Bolsover Castle from the humble Norman beginnings to today's beautiful shadow of its former glory.
The present 17th century castle stands as a monument to the Cavendish family who lavished money and love on their "Pleasure Palace", leaving as their legacy a romantic ruin and stunning paintings within the "Little Castle".
