Welly Walk Bolton Abbey — Attraction in Bolton Abbey

We went to bolton abbey mid afternoon bank holiday Monday. We didn't take a bbq (wished we had after smelling everyone else's). Even though it was very busy, there was still parking to be found with grassy areas next to the car for a kickabout and a picnic. The entrance fee was ten pounds for a car. There is a cafe there, which we didn't utilise this time. We have visited before and had tea and coffee from there. There are ice-cream shacks dotted round .. The raspberry ripple and vanilla are both delectable. We walked towards bolton abbey and skipped stones in the water. We didn't venture across to the abbey as it was a very leisurely afternoon.

Visited on a Monday and parked at the main Bolton abbey car park. There are 3 others you can choose from.

The cafe at the bridge was overpriced, we got two sausage rolls and I believe they were £3.75 each. Here you will find toilets, gift shops and the...

Visited today. Arrived at 09.20 and carpark beginning to fill. School holidays this week and Halloween walk about in woods. Good footpaths all the way around.

A map given on entry guides you to the appropriate colour coded paths for you to choose depending on your mobility or preference of choice. Some steep areas if you like a more robust walk. Cafe, shop and toilets at the entrance to the woods. It's best to book your ticket on line as it works out cheaper than just turning up on the day. Ample carparking spaces. Beautiful...
