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 is preserved in outstanding condition with many interesting rooms and features to discover including the Old Kitchens, Dungeon, Armory and Mary Queen of Scots bedroom. We give our visitors a taste of what life was really like during the Castle’s heyday through providing the sights, sounds, smells and experiences of life in the past. There are beautiful gardens to explore with a maze as well as falconry demonstrations, archery and wild boar feeding.
