Tutbury Castle
Situated in the heart of England, Tutbury Castle sits on wooded slopes overlooking the winding River Dove, with spectacular views across the plain of the Dove to the beautiful Derbyshire hills. Occupied since the stone age, the castle has played an important part in English history on many occasions in warfare and peace. The castle is best known as one of the prisons of Mary Queen of Scots, who was held here on four occasions. It was here that she became involved in the plot that ultimately led to her bloody execution at Fotheringham.
The castle welcomes thousands of visitors each year, with historical re-enanctment, archaeological excavation, an authentic tudor garden, and medieval herbery, there’s something for everyone.
