Bolton Castle is a 14th-century castle which dominates Wensleydale. The castle was damaged in the English Civil War, but much of it remains. It has never been sold and is still in the ownership of the descendants of the Scrope family. The best ancient monument I have visited for a long while as so much of it is open to exploration with very few barriers or closed doors. I was aiming mainly to do monochrome images but some of the colours with the mixed lighting appealed so these first to set the scene. The view from the battlements covers all of Wensleydale.
