What do we do?
Organize a variety of walks
We have a varied programme of walks. Coach Rambles are organised for the first Saturday and third Sunday of each month, click on the relevant Walks Buttons to get details. Shorter Local Footpath Walks using the wealth of footpaths in the Bolton area are organised on the second Sunday of each month. These shorter walks are almost always accessible by public transport and provide a great way to get into walking as well as exploring the countryside in and around Bolton.
