Astonishing views (shame the pictures don't do them justice) plus could still make out Blackpool...

The car park is small , only room for about 25 cars. But we went on a sunny warm Saturday and had no problem parking on the roadside just outside the ca...

👍👍 03/10/22: been up here quite a few times walking the dog. Free parking on Edenfield Road, close to Owd Betts pub, postcode: OL12 7TY. Walk directly up and around following the footpaths.

Little Bolton Town Hall
Historical landmark
👍 I love this place. It has a lovely laid back atmosphere. Service is friendly and swift. Nice but limited food menu. A great drinks menu too. But it is only open one and a half days a week and although there are signs saying "we are open " the door being shut gives the very opposite impression. The...
