The CottonworksListed building · 263 ydExplorer Tom The Cottonworks in Bolton is where the threads of history got tangled up in machinery. It looks industrial but with a soul, which is my favorite combo. Snap a photo of the windows and imagine all the workers who once spun their dreams into fabric here!
Eagley BankListed building · 405 ydExplorer Tom Eagley Bank in Bolton sounds like a place where eagles do their banking, but they probably prefer cash. The listing is vague, so I’m guessing it’s got some hidden character. Take a photo of the trees and listen for any screeching complaints about interest rates!

Ousel Nest MeadowsVisitor information · 1.1 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.
Bridge and waterfall near Smithills Hall, BoltonWaterfall · 1.2 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.
Monument at Smithills HallMonument or public art · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Monument at Smithills Hall in Bolton looks like it has a story to tell about the old days. Maybe a ghost lives there? Or just a very proud architect. Peek behind it, I dare you! It might wink.
Hazelhurst WoodWood · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Hazelhurst Wood has caught my eye in Blackburn with Darwen. I bet a wood with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Boundary Stone becoming overgrownMonument or public art · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Boundary Stone becoming overgrown in Bolton is getting a free hairdo from nature. The weeds are giving it a very hippie vibe. I bet it loves being hidden. Try to find the stone under the green!
A waterfall in Barrow BridgeWaterfall · 1.9 miExplorer Tom A waterfall in Barrow Bridge in Bolton is doing its best to impress. It’s probably small and splashing on rocks. Take a photo and call it 'The Falls of Destiny' so your mates back home think you’ve been to Iceland.
War MemorialMonument · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Another War Memorial in Bolton! They’re everywhere, aren’t they? This one looks particularly stern. It’s probably judging my walking technique right now. Take a picture and keep your distance, just in case.
Fred DibnahMemorial · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Fred Dibnah is here in Bolton, looking like he’s just finished a very long shift. This statue looks grumpy, but I bet he was a legend. Try not to scare him off the plinth with your loud voice.
