Ousel Nest MeadowsVisitor information · 2.0 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 · 2.2 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.
