    A really popular place to visit right on the river with huge estate grounds around the 12th century monastery ruins for beautiful walks and family days out.

    From Skipton there's a beautiful, quiet backroad route to come here through Halton East.

    If you do pay to drive in, there's a fantastic kids/family cycle zone next to one of the car parks. It has little signposts and it's a wonderfully safe place for really little kids to get to grips with riding a bike. You can bring your own picnic too, so all in all it's a great day out.

    Bolton Abbey is a ruined 12th-century abbey that was closed in 1539 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII. The abbey is owned by the Cavendish family who also owns Chatsworth estate in Derbyshire and Lismore Castle. They have opened it to the public so you can roam the ruins and explore the 30,000 acres of parkland. Entrance is free.
