My favourite spot to go for a walk and grab a coffee, the parking isn’t free but it makes a great day out, with and coffee shops dotted around the whole walk- you won’t go thirsty. Be sure to visit the Bolton abbey ruins while your their- and dare to walk across the famous foot steps by the bridge :) !
