Bolton Castle is a 14th-century castle located in Wensleydale, Yorkshire, England.
The nearby village of Castle Bolton takes its name from the castle.
Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned there between 1568 and 1569.
After her defeat in Scotland in 1568 she fled to England, posing a threat to Queen Elizabeth I.
She was initially held at Carlisle Castle and was then moved to Bolton.
She was kept there briefly for 6 months before being taken to Tutbury in Staffordshire.
We didn’t have time to tour the castle but did enjoy a walk around the grounds.
