What our visitors say about the castle

Emma Rieley 
I visited yesterday and just wanted to say thank you for a lovely day, it was my first time visiting and it was brilliant.
I especially really enjoyed the falconry display and Luke was fantastic. Do the falconry team have their own social media showing their work with the birds? I couldn't find anything but please pass on my thanks to Luke, if it wasn't such a scorching day, I would have loved to have spoken to him more about the birds.
Hope you're well and thanks again.

It was a great day at a beautifully preserved castle.
Me and my wife visited with my elderly in laws at the start of August. We had an amazing time, and the imposing sight of the castle greets you when you approach. The surrounds are well kept, and the gardens are beautiful with vineyard, herb gardens, and a maze. We went to both birds of prey displays and were captivated and entertained at both. The tour guides were welcoming and obviously well educated on the castle and History of Mary Q of Scots. Lots to see and do if you walk around unguided, too. The visit was brilliantly finished off with a feeding of the boar. A great day out!

Best castle I've EVER been to
Absolutely loved it here, we were lucky enough to come when people were in costume. Master David provided a GREAT tour, very very interesting, extremely knowledgeable, and humorous. I would recommend it to anyone

Falconry experience
I had been treated to a half day falconry experience and today was the day. Callum looked after us so well. His knowledge of and love for the birds was obvious and if you don’t mind the pun, the morning flew by. We fed and flew three owls and a hawk and ended the morning taking part in the demo in the castle. Add to this the friendly staff, pretty gardens and excellent cake, and it was a treat indeed. Thoroughly recommend and thank you Callum for making memories with us.
A visitor
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Bolton Castle. The way the castle was exhibited was fantastic, it gave you a real feel for what it would’ve been like. The staff were so passionate, especially Dave who took the time to share his knowledge with our children in a very engaging way. The tea and pasties were delicious and it was lovely to be able to see the birds of prey in the gardens. We would definitely recommend visiting.
