Close to the centre of Bolton is Queens Park, this beautiful park is the ideal spot with a children's park open to let the kids run off some energy.

Situated at the edge of the park is a lovely cafe which is open seven days a week offering drinks, ice cream, and a range of food.

There is also a soft play corner inside too and a duck pond.

This park is three miles south of the town centre and is a circular route.

This walking route is only 2.5 miles long- and it’s also suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs as most paths are smooth.

Best of all, there are several large ponds to admire in the park and plenty of wildlife living amongst the trees.

The terrain is medium, but be prepared to build up a sweat as you travel up and down hills.  

You can download this route on the Walks With Wheelchairs website.

Moss Bank Park
