Do we have to see ANOTHER castle?



YES!! When in England what else do you do with visitors than go and see some of the castles in the area. You can see castles that are in complete ruins, others are partially intact and others are still lived in. Today we went to Bolton Castle ~ this is an actual photo of the castle that I took today.

Bolton Castle stands in its prominent position, guarding the landscape of the North Yorkshire Dales, unchanged in over 600 years. In 1568, Mary Queen of Scots was held at the castle for a year before being moved elsewhere. There are a total of 5 floors that we were able to view and see within the walls of the castle. While much of the castle is in ruins there are some places that were relatively intact.

Here everyone is at the end of the day after walking up and down the narrow, winding stairs of the castle.
