Activity Detail Page

Bolton Castle is a massive fortress with walls 9 feet thick which has dominated Wensleydale since 1379. Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned here during 1568 and 1569 and the Royalists were besieged here during the Civil War. Yet it remains one of the country's best preserved castles, in a beautiful setting in the Yorkshire Dales.

Bolton Castle boasts superb views and two of the castle gardens are restored along medieval lines - the Herb Garden and the Walled Garden. Welcoming Tea Room with home-made refreshments and Gift Shop. Two rooms are licensed for weddings including the Great Chamber. For further info see www.boltoncastle.co.uk.
