10 Things to do Good for Couples in Bolton That You Shouldn't Miss

July 26, 2021 Diedre Savory

Bolton (/ˈbɒltən/ ( listen) or locally [ˈbɜʏtn̩]) is a town in Greater Manchester in North West England. A former mill town, Bolton has been a production centre for textiles since Flemish weavers settled in the area in the 14th century, introducing a wool and cotton-weaving tradition. The urbanisation and development of the town largely coincided with the introduction of textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution. Bolton was a 19th-century boomtown, and at its zenith in 1929 its 216 cotton mills and 26 bleaching and dyeing works made it one of the largest and most productive centres of cotton spinning in the world. The British cotton industry declined sharply after the First World War, and by the 1980s cotton manufacture had virtually ceased in Bolton.

You really cannot beat this place loads of space and lots of different ways to get to it. A walkers dream and great for dog walkers as well , if you can stop them chaseing the ducks and other birds. There is a cafe here but from reviews its best left alone. Take a loaf and feed the local ducks there are hundreds. Really great for free you can even visit the grounds of local turton tower for free as well (no parking charge as well) a real treat for dogs

Octagon Theatre

Reviewed By JulesVinn - Bolton, United Kingdom

Recently saw 'Beryl' , staged by the Octagon in their temporary home at Bolton Library. It was absolutely awesome, everyone of the 4 cast worked very hard and it paid off. Probably one of the best productions I have ever seen, poignant, funny and the fact it was based on a true story made it all the better.

Go Ape Rivington

Voted Best Tourism Experience at Lancashire and Blackpool Tourism Awards 2011 and nominated in the Visit Lancashire for Small Visitor Attraction in 2014. It's got to be one of Lancashire's best days out and that's not just us saying that (check out our feedback!). With breathtaking scenery, amazing tree top obstacles and awesome zip lines, Rivington is sure to be a day out in Lancashire you won't forget. You are guaranteed a warm welcome at Rivington Tree Top Adventure. It's home to one of the most exciting zip wires: You'll cross a bay in the reservoir and get a bird's eye view over the water. With its rugged hills, picturesque reservoirs and woodlands bustling with wildlife, Rivington is one of Lancashire's 'must visit' locations. A gem in its own right and on the doorstep of Manchester, one of the most vibrant cities in the UK.

My wife an I received gift vouchers last Christmas. Due to Covid, the activity was closed during the summer. We decided to wait until schools returned before booking our slot mid week. Each session accommodates up to 14 people. The instructors were friendly, knowledgable and engaging and everything felt clean and Covid friendly. A few simple procedures along the route ensured social distancing between groups and all participants were respectful to each other. So, what was the course like? It was an exhilarating couple of hours that we will be repeating next year. We arrived back home with a huge smile on our face. Anyone with a reasonable level of fitness will still be challenged. Those that dont participate in regular exercise will probably ache the following day. There are 5 sections and some offer a trickier option. All are very safe and well maintained. The 'Tarzan' swing at the end is a leap of faith (literally). If you are at the front of the pack (which we were), the aerial runway at the end of section 4 has an exit sign which we followed, thinking it was the end of the adventure. There is actually a final section that requires looping back into the woodland. This is not clearly signposted. We missed it and headed back. Fortunately, the team were 'on it' and realised our mistake. They re harnessed us and we completed the course.

Hall I’ th’ Wood Museum

Reviewed By bazonian2015 - Stockport, United Kingdom

I had wanted to visit this place for a number of years. It is only open 2 days a week. It is a very imposing building from the outside with its tudor beams. The building in parts is around 500 years old. The kitchen is amazing with so many objects of interest to see. The dairy is also very interesting with the old cheese press. Upstairs there are various rooms to see relating to Samuel Crompton including his spinning wheel. We had a amazing guide a lady with red hair. Who told us loads of information about this amazing building. Well worth a visit. Limited parking.

Great park with a lot of life and character. Riverside walk through trees and along the banking. We say dogs having a great time. Two even went into the river and straight out again. Glad I wasn't the owner as the the dogs jumped up at him then shook the water off. The playground looks really good. Is it modern? Seems pretty new.

Our son got married on 2/11/19 at the wellbeing farm I really don’t know where to start with but here goes , the reception area is well thought out and was really welcoming. The staff were excellent and couldn’t have been more professional and couldn’t do enough for us . They provided large umbrellas for us to transfer from one building to the other as the weather wasn’t good . The wedding ceremony took place in the barn and it was outstanding ,the decorations were beautiful . The food was delicious we had light bites of fish and chips , mini burgers and miniature cottage pies .after the ceremony . The main meal was outstanding , soup with a full loaf of fresh baked bread ,chicken, lamb and organic vegetables . I couldn’t fault the venue at all the staff were excellent , the bar was well stocked and the wedding barn was so beautiful I would recommend it to anyone who was looking for somewhere different to get married. The wedding cake was actually a cheese cake and it looked fabulous.
