Walmsley Unitarian ChapelListed building · 1371 ydExplorer Tom Walmsley Unitarian Chapel in Bolton is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass!
Walmsley School to south of Unitarian ChapelListed building · 1380 ydExplorer Tom Walmsley School to south of Unitarian Chapel is where kids learned to hide books from strict teachers. I bet there's a secret tunnel under the playground. Dig around if you feel brave enough!

Ousel Nest MeadowsVisitor information · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Ousel Nest Meadows in Bolton sounds lovely, like a fairy tale, until you realize it’s just grass. Ousels are rare birds, so don’t expect a flock to greet you. Just enjoy the greenery and pretend you’re royalty.
Great Robert HillMountain / peak · 2.0 mi
Smithills Open FarmZoo or wildlife park · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Smithills Open Farm in Bolton is full of animals with no records. Probably cows judging by the name. Say moo to them and snap a pic of your silly face for me!
Bridge and waterfall near Smithills Hall, BoltonWaterfall · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Bridge and waterfall near Smithills Hall, Bolton is just water going over a bridge. It’s picturesque in the way a wet sock is comfortable. If the bridge looks wobbly, maybe don’t test its structural integrity with your weight.
