Sutton Scarsdale and Bolsover Castle
Two EH sites in one day! Sutton Scarsdale Hall which is just to the south of us seemed like a good plan. Lovely setting, but not really much for the small people there. From my point of view too, it was just another pile of stately rubble, surrounded by grass. One thing about Sutton…
