We visited Bolton Castle having seen it featured on Countryfile and were not disappointed.

The castle itself is an impressive pile with a suitably intriguing history, as one might expect of any building that has stood since the 1300s and housed such a colourful array of characters.

We were fortunate to visit on a bright, clear day and felt at ease to idle around the grounds for a couple of hours during which time we encountered owls, a falcon and even wild boar.

All in, an excellent jaunt.
