Tickets are available on the day, it is not necessary to pre-book. We look forward to welcoming visitors to enjoy our gardens, including our maze, vineyard and superb views across the glorious Wensleydale valley and our impressive medieval castle and shop which has lots of locally produced gifts and souvenirs. Our castle tearoom is open every day. The falconry displays will be taking place twice a day as well as our daily archery demonstration and Wild Boar talk and feed.
Dogs (unless they are assistance dogs) are not allowed into the castle or main gardens however we have provided a table and chairs just outside our tea room for dogs and their owners. You can also sit in the top area of the gardens with your dog as we do provide a take away service.

Bolton Castle Goes Greener!
Here at Bolton Castle we’re looking to grow our green credentials by becoming a member of Green Tourism and recognising and supporting eco-friendly achievements throughout our visitor offer. These will be primarily in our practices but will also need the support of our visitors. The initiatives include reducing energy use, saving water, efficient and eco-friendly waste disposal, ethical buying, staying local and seasonal, minimising food miles, promoting biodiversity and adopting a smart, sustainable outlook.

Bolton Castle in Wensleydale provides a huge range of exciting things to do in Yorkshire. From family days out to educational trips and historic tours you will find a raft of sights, sounds and smells which bring the castle to life and make for a truly memorable trip.
Bolton Castle is one of the country’s best preserved medieval castles; originally built as one of the finest and most luxurious homes in the land, the castle bears the scars of over 600 years of fascinating history. The castle is still in the private ownership of Lord Bolton, the direct descendant of the castle’s original owner Sir Richard le Scrope.
