What a great day out! The castle is extraordinary and you get some awesome views. The gardens are gorgeous with a maze, vinery, herb and dye gardens. We went to the cafe too which had limited choices but it was fine and inside the castle which added to it's charm.

We had a fantastic time at Bolton Castle! The weather was sunny and perfect for a picnic on the lawn. Alice was wonderful, showing us the beautiful birds at the falconry and demonstrating the archery in the courtyard. We also loved our tour of the castle, especially seeing the room where Mary Queen of Scots stayed, and we had fun feeding the wild boars and getting lost in the maze. A perfect day out!

£48 to go in for a family of 4. £5 to park so we parked in the village for free. The people doing the show and talks were really great (archery/ owls / Mary queen of Scot’s). Kids LOVED the maze. The gardens are really well kept. We bought some herbs. Great day out. The owl aviaries seemed a bit bland and could have done with some more enrichment but owls seemed happy and in good health. Really well kept castle. Would recommend. Also great views from the top.

We stopped by this castle in the middle of a long hike and were delighted to find that the gardens, cafe, and some of the interior are free to access for those passing by! There is a P&D car park with free outdoor toilets and an adorable herd of wild boar. They are very friendly to visitors and so cute. 🦮✅These areas are also dog friendly, although the main ticketed interior museum is not dog friendly. If you have a dog, there is a "dog friendly" area of the cafe just for you. The staff were very friendly and brought us water and treats too! ☕️ The cafe offers oat milk and has a wide selection of vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free cakes and drinks. Everything is clearly labelled and gluten free food is separated.

We had a great time, our second visit, last here in 2020. It was windy today so the owl display was taken indoors but still excellent. Some great views from the castle and nice grounds to walk round. If you want to venture further there are a couple of public footpaths starting from the castle grounds. Enjoyed seeing the wild boars.
