AULT HUCKNALL: Bolsover Parish #10 of 16
Welcome to one of rural England's most charming chunks of land. This one has more than a few bits to tell us about life in the heart of Derbyshire, about how life was in Elizabethan times, and how life was for the rich and the powerful. In this case, the woman with the power was the second richest person in the UK behind Queen Elizabeth I - Bess of Hardwick.
A lot of these lands belonged to the Hardwick Estate, a lot of them still do. There are seven settlements in this parish, and a whole lot of National Trust land, some of which is rightly a conservation area. Funnily enough though, its sparse population of less than 1,100 people mostly live in the two settlements that have nothing to do with Hardwick Hall.
They are Bramley Vale and Doe Lea, both of which are mining areas which are something of an anomaly really compared to the rest of the parish. You see, generally this area gives you tiny farmsteads like Astwith and Hardstoft and Rowthorne - which are a million miles away from anything to do with mining.
Then of course, there's Hardwick Hall itself, built with as many windows as Bess of Hardwick deemed possible so she could admire her kingdom, which included two massive lakes and the River Doe Lea. An impressive structure for all to see, Hardwick Hall is famed for many things including a collection of embroideries and even a scene or two in Harry Potter!
Oh and is the main village really the smallest village in England? It would claim to be. This is AULT HUCKNALL.

BOLSOVER CASTLE | Full tour of historic Bolsover Castle, Derbyshire, England | 4K UK Walk
BOLSOVER CASTLE | We take a full walk round Bolsover Castle near Chesterfield in Derbyshire UK to have a look around this amazing British Castle!
Also watch Castle Combe Village ????
Bolsover Castle is an English Heritage Castle in the town of Bolsover in the East Midlands of Britain. It's a castle soaked in history so we took the Gimbal Walk TV cameras and headed straight for the castle grounds to have a look around and soak in the atmosphere!
This full Bolsover Castle tour takes in the whole site from the entrance with it's gift shop and cafe, through to the Little Castle, The Fountain Garden, as well as the Terrace Range and the castle walls.
Whilst walking round Bolsover Castle you can't get caught up in the historic feel of the place and English Heritage have done an outstanding job of looking after, maintaining and caring for this incredible place.
Perched on a ridge high above the Vale of Scarsdale, on the site of a medieval fortress, Bolsover Castle is an extraordinary 17th-century aristocratic retreat. The exquisite ‘Little Castle’ has remarkable wall paintings and interiors, and the Riding House is the earliest such building in England to survive complete.
The castle was founded in the late 11th century by William Peveril, one of William the Conqueror's knights, but it was neglected from the mid-14th century. Its ruins provided the setting for the Little Castle begun in 1612 by Sir Charles Cavendish as a retreat from his principal seat at Welbeck, a few miles away.
The design of the Little Castle was intended to evoke a Norman great tower, which it clearly resembles viewed from a distance, rising sheer from the cliff.
Since 1984 Bolsover Castle has been in the care of English Heritage. The parapets on the wall-walk have recently been restored, offering views out over the landscape, and the Fountain Garden, with the Venus Fountain as its centrepiece, has been replanted with period plants. He Bolsover Castle Horses are now once again a regular sight here.
The Little Castle was created as an extravagant retreat by playboy, poet and courtier, Sir William Cavendish. With medieval-style turrets and towers it was a building designed to surprise and delight.
TV shows filmed here include Antiques Roadshow, Most Haunted (the Bolsover Castle Teddy Bear episode where a TV producer was sent to hospital after an encounter with the Bolsover Castle Haunted Teddy Bear), and the 2008 film 'Summer'

Bolsover Castle (English Heritage) in Derbyshire | UK Travel Vlog | Visit England
In this UK travel vlog I visit the English Heritage property of Bolsover Castle in Derbyshire, which was once opened by the Cavendish family (of Chatsworth). Bolsover Castle is supposedly the most haunted English Heritage property and it did feel quite eerie - although maybe that was because it was a very cold April day! We look around the exhibition in the stables, the ruin, the 'little castle' with its many rooms, and the small gardens.
Hello and welcome to SpectroMagical! I'm Emma and it's great to have you here.
In this travel vlog series I will explore Great Britain. I will visit Wales and visit England to show you all of the amazing family friendly days out around the UK. I'd love to have you join me on these adventures, so don't forget to subscribe:

We arrived back from Ireland to England to finish the last leg of our trip. Back in the Derbyshire area, we visited Bolosover Castle as well as Eyam. Bolsover, which may not clearly be represented in the video, was basically a castle for debauchery and Eyam was a very old village that got hit very hard by the plague in the 1600's. Before leaving England we made sure to also check out York, one of the few walled cities that has survived through the years.
Finally, our trip ended with a pleasant surprise from an airline we had never tried before.

Bolsover Castle. June 2014
Had a great time looking around Bolsover Castle, Derbyshire. It's set in magnificent surroundings with amazing panoramic view. Its a medieval fortress dating back to 1612. There are an abundance of rooms to discover and erotic delights in the staterooms. In the courtyard there is the Venus Fountain. Enjoyed watching the Cavalier Horsemanship that dates back to the 17th Century. Unfortunately photos and filming were prohibited for the show. Overall a lovely day for all the family and I would highly recommend anyone to visit this English Heritage site.

It's a trip to Derbyshire and Bolsover or ' Boser' as the locals prononouce it to visit the castle built by the Cavendish family.
Included are the interior of the fortress, gift shop and the food and drink market on the approach to the castle.
Apoligies in advance for any issues with the sound. I,m trying different things with the Go-Pro and intend to purchase a new handle in due course to help reduce audio interference.
