Bolsover - perched on a dramatic escarpment and home to a fairy-tale castle, is rather more than just a town that featured prominently in the miner’s strike of the 1980’s. The entire area is full of history, with stately homes, country parks, nature reserves, walking trails, "model" villages and much much more to see and learn about. The book includes sections on Clowne and Shirebrook as well as the lesser-known villages of Elmton, Whaley and Langwith.Read about the Black Death, the Vietnam War, mental arithmetic, chemical weapons and jam manufacturing all in one easy-to-read guide - with every story taking place within a few miles of Bolsover itself.But don’t just read the book - Bolsover isn’t described as a "Jewel" for nothing - see for yourself.
