What’s on

Wonderful Castle that we love coming to visit! Really interesting history and incredible views. The afternoon tea is honestly one of the best I have had and I would strongly recommend the flying display if you have time. Great place to visit!

Such a lovely castle with some great history, we’ve followed the story of Mary Queen of Scots and love the connection here. We saw the birds of prey with Alice, this lady has a lovely bond with these beautiful birds.

Great day out. The guides are excellent; it is worth stopping to listen to them and to do the free guided tour. We watched the falconry display which we enjoyed and found the information given about the birds really interesting.

We visited Bolton Castle as part of our holiday. We were impressed by the castle and gardens and spent 4-hours exploring, eating lunch in the tearoom and watching an excellent birds of prey demonstration, involving lots of humour as well as an obvious love of the birds, and finished off our afternoon by seeing the boars being fed. The views from the top of the castle were superb.

Highly recommend a visit to this castle. Beautiful location, lots of the castle intact, immaculate gardens, archery and falconry displays. Also, a great place to visit on a very hot day as beautifully cool inside.
