Bolesworth Castle, English country house in Broxton, England
The sandstone castle features a three-story central tower with turrets, wide canted bays, and castellated walls across its two main floors.
Built in 1829 for Manchester businessman George Walmesley, the castle replaced an older house from 1750 and was acquired by Robert Barbour in 1856.
The estate holds national equestrian competitions, classic car auctions, and family festivals throughout the year at its 6,500-acre grounds.
The estate contains multiple walking paths, gardens with 350 tree varieties, and facilities for corporate events, weddings, and group gatherings.
The grounds include Grade II listed structures such as a temple with Diana statue, a boat house, and an ornamental bridge over the fishpool.
