    There are a number of parks around in Bolton. Moses Gate is a natural park. Great for walking . However I couldn't find a cafe but did find toilets. And close to the reservoir

    Gypsies

    Too close for comfort to the gypsy camp just across the road. The scumbags threatened me and threw stuff at my car. Four men against 1 woman - Lowlife scrotes! The police do nothing, it’s like the Wild West there. Avoid.
