We had a fantastic day at the Castle on Thursday 21 September. We loved the Castle but we really enjoyed the falconry displays and we learned a lot! Went to both because we enjoyed the morning display so much. Archery demonstration - brilliant. Tearoom good too but missed out on the Bolton Pie - it was very popular! Great day out, idyllic location - thoroughly recommended.

Excellent place to visit. It took us a couple of hours to have a good snoop around the castle, even ended up on the Battlements, with its spectacular views. Gardens were immaculate, tea room nice.

My wife and I visited today and had a thoroughly enjoyable day. Not being the fittest of people, we did find all the steps a little daunting, but with the help of the handrails we made it around. So pleased we did, as the castle is so worth a visit. The signage is spot on, to guide you around, and the information boards give you a very interesting insight into the history of the castle. We took in the archery, falconry and wild boar events. These were all hosted by Luke, we think that was his name, and he was superb. He made everything very interesting and had excellent knowledge, which he imparted with a great sense of humour. We visited the tearoom, for refreshments, and the cakes were delicious. Overall all of the staff were cheerful and friendly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Bolton Castle. The way the castle was exhibited was fantastic, it gave you a real feel for what it would’ve been like. The staff were so passionate, especially Dave who took the time to share his knowledge with our children in a very engaging way. The tea and pasties were delicious and it was lovely to be able to see the birds of prey in the gardens. We would definitely recommend visiting.

Well maintained family castle with a great history. Grounds and falconry worth exploring. We witnessed the falconer fly two birds. Brilliantly presented great knowledge and fun. Would highly recommend. Also good value for money staging all sorts of events. When we were on site there was a witch trial taking place and preparation for a wedding.

This is an excellent and well presented castle to visit. There is plenty to see and lots of information and people to ask. When we visited they had a reconstruction of a which trial, which was good fun ( done in jest of course ) Also bow and arrow try outs and a falconry display all part of the entrance fee. The cafe is also a lovely place for refreshments. Highly recommended.

Castle Bolton was impressive as it was before. Lots of stones been thrown. The bedrooms were active and the dungeon was an experience in its self, just the feel of it was scary. Lone vigils you are all fantastic and you always make my family feel at ease. I love the banter and I am so looking forward to going to castle Bolton again. I want to try the dungeon for longer.

What a fantastic Castle! So much to see, every room was so interesting. Lots of info, but not too much to get boring. The day we visited was bright and sunny, the view from the roof top was truly 360' and we could see for miles! The star of the place was LEE! He did a brilliant chat and display of Archery and then we were truly entertained and informed about the birds of prey that he obviously is totally passionate about, flying display and close-up contact with beautiful birds. It was superb. Finally we went to see the Wild Boars with their little Humbug piglets! Our lunch in the cafe was delicious and so fresh. We cannot recommend this highly enough.

This is a very well presented castle and a lot of thought has gone into the interpretation of history in this building. There are a number of attractions to a visit, a falconry display, have a go archery and watching the wild boar being fed are just some. It's well worth a visit at any time, however the ''living history'' weekends are very interesting and engaging. All of the staff are friendly and happy to share their knowledge with visitors.

Bolton castle was worth a visit overall. Falcon and Owl display was very good. Gardens were a little small and disappointing so I recommend not visiting just for this part. The castle was itself interesting to walk around but I felt the displays where not as detailed in historical artefacts as it could have been to make the whole experience more realistic (Queen Mary's bed chamber was a good example of what of could been done in many more rooms to bring them to life). Tea room offered nice fresh drinks and cakes at reasonable prices too. So overall I felt it was worth a visit if you do the whole experience and not just the gardens.
