Bolesworth Castle

An enchanting well planted woodland garden stretching along the sandstone ridge above Bolesworth Castle featuring large leaf, species and hybrid rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias. Explore the paths on The Rock and find the Lion & Lamb Cave with its stunning view of the Welsh Hills and the skyline of Liverpool. Continue your walk through the castle gardens and round the lake. Steep drops so children must be carefully supervised at all times. Wonderful coffee and light refreshments from The Lost Barn Coffee Roasters.
