Review of: Bolton Castle Admission Ticket
Excellent . Well worth the £9 entry as a privately owned preserved castle including a birds of prey display twice a day and wild boar feeding. Great for families or history interested individuals. To be in the same rooms that Mary Queen of Scots and entourage were held prisoner for many months was special. We were going to visit the tea room but swerved it due to the overpowering smell of old chip fat. One area that needs improvement. Lots of steps and levels to negotiate.

They looked rather depressed in their gloomy cages I do hope that they all get some flying time! Not much of a life.…

What a fabulous castle! I was touring the dales, and was staying in Leyburn. I’d been told so much about this magnificent castle, that I just had to visit. It stands so well, the grounds are fantastic, and the views around are out of this world.
