It was a hazy day, and I was facing the sun, so this image does not do justice to the view. However you can see that it does come as a surprise having approached along the narrow walled path. No doubt the view was better before the trees grew so tall, but Nikolaus Pevsner, writing about Bolsover Castle in the 1950s, notes that the view then was of coal mines and smoking chimneys.
