High above Wensleydale, Bolton Castle rises as one of the best-preserved medieval fortresses in England — and seeing it from above, you realise just how complete it still is. Built in the late 1300s by Richard le Scrope, Chancellor to King Richard II, it was both a home and a show of power, dominating the landscape for over six centuries. Within these walls, in 1568, Mary, Queen of Scots was held under guard for six months — her rooms, chapel, and courtyard all still standing today. From the air

A fly around Bolton Castle in Wensleydale - a proper North Yorkshire fortress, built to look good and to hold its ground. It was built between 1378 and 1399 for Sir Richard Scrope, the Lord Chancellor of England, and it’s one of the best-preserved medieval castles in the country. Even more wild - it’s still in the same family line, through the Orde-Powletts, who’ve owned it since the 1600s. It’s also got one of the most famous stories in the Dales: Mary, Queen of Scots was held here in 1568, gua

Bolton Estate in Wensleydale is to launch Curlew Safaris this June with a birdwatching tour in a 4x4 and talk by the gamekeepers. The curlew is Britain’s most endangered wading bird, with a population decline of about 60 per cent since the 1980s. But the estate, a member of the Moorland Association, has a record high of 220 curlew nests this year. This is almost the same number as can be found in the whole of the south of England, from Birmingham to Cornwall. | Yorkshire Post
