Seemingly untouched by the 21st century, Bolton Castle is an exceptional location for film and photo shoots.
Located just two hours from London by train (via Northallerton), this medieval castle spans five floors and features a variety of atmospheric spaces, including a dungeon and a suite of rooms where Mary, Queen of Scots, was reportedly held.
Key features:
Five floors of versatile interior spaces
Unfurnished rooms with accessible electrical points
Dedicated areas for dressing and makeup nearby
Simply decorated interiors—ideal for staging and set design
Grounds & exterior:
Views across the Wensleydale valley
Formal gardens, including a maze and vineyard
