Explorer Tom Church of St Paul again? In Bolton! It’s like finding your mate twice on the same street. The spire is definitely judging you. Don’t let it get away!

Explorer 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.

Explorer 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.
