Bolton Castle has been a looming fixture in Wensleydale since the 14th century and is one of England’s best preserved medieval castles. Sir Richard le Scrope, an English cleric who served as Archbishop of York and started building Bolton Castle in 1379. It is a Grade I listed property, with five floors of rooms, making it a perfect place for any period drama.

The castle gardens were restored following an archaeological survey of the grounds in 1994. There’s a maze, herb garden, rose garden and a surprise vineyard. Surrounding the grounds, the original medieval stone walls can still be seen. There are also falconry displays and a tearoom for visitors.

It was chosen by Channel 5 as a filming location for the new Anne Boleyn drama starring Jodie Turner-Smith.
