Summary
Ruined hexagonal castle in Lincolnshire Wolds, birthplace of Henry IV, Scheduled Monument.
About this location
Bolingbroke Castle is a ruined thirteenth-century hexagonal fortress near Spilsby in the Lincolnshire Wolds, birthplace of Henry IV in 1367. The castle was one of the principal strongholds of the House of Lancaster and was slighted after the Civil War. The low-lying ruins with their distinctive hexagonal plan sit in a quiet Wolds valley, preserved as a scheduled monument. The Lincolnshire Wolds location and the medieval ruins attract documentary productions about the Wars of the Roses and Plantagenet history. English Heritage manages public access to the site.
Access for filming is coordinated through the site manager or relevant heritage body. The site offers strong visual potential for both aerial and ground-level camera work, and location scouts have visited the area for period and fantasy productions requiring authentic British heritage architecture. Production teams should contact the managing authority well in advance of intended shoot dates to ensure permit clearance.
