When dressed properly for the elements, including the rain which is forecast all weekend, nothing beats a walk in one of Bolton's glorious beauty spots ­— especially if it followed by a roast.

And Sunday really isn't a Sunday without someone saying 'let's go for a walk'.

We bring you three stunning walks, whatever the weather, followed by the top three places, rated by TripAdvisor, to enjoy a traditional Sunday roast beef lunch.

At the end there will be pint waiting at The Black Dog, Church Street, Belmont .

One diner commented only recently: "The food is good and reasonably priced. The waitress was very pleasant. There are small alcoves , one with an open fire in the winter. There is also a larger brighter area with an ice cream bar. It's a dog friendly pub too."
