Family album pictures of Shark, Squirrel and Tiger enjoying our treasures of England or, as you can see, scowling, looking miserable and/or threatening, picking fights based on sibling rivalries of 'who saw the ceiling first', being rained on, staring at walls trying to resist the urge to pick off the gold paint, and trying to creep up on a sister to bash her round the face.
Fortunately, English Heritage, being a family-friendly type of outfit, let us get on with it.
So I totally recommend Bolsover Castle for a family day out.
And the audio guide.
Although that bit about the bedroom being off the dining room is WRONG.
The room to the left of the dining room is obviously the gentleman's withdrawing room, where they can retire to Man Talk like world affairs, scientific discoveries, how to ride a horse properly, and whether the Duchess of Devonshire wears black leather underpants.
It makes sense, because the room to the right of the dining room is obviously where the ladies retire, where they can Woman Talk like world affairs, scientific discoveries, how to ride a horse properly, and whether the Duke of Devonshire wears purple frilly knickers.
Thank you English Heritage. I love you.
