| Bolton has a proud heritage, a colourful history and an exciting future. Set on the edge of the breath-taking Pennine countryside, it’s home to more than 265,000 people. It’s a place of contrast – a fusion of modern and traditional with a rich inheritance from the textile boom of the industrial revolution. |
Today it is very much a modern town enhanced by a backdrop of beautiful grand buildings and historic houses, a place where cultural and tourist attractions sit side-by-side with superb shopping and leisure facilities. Although it still retains a strong pride in its local heritage, Bolton is a cosmopolitan place and this is reflected in the diversity of the restaurants, bars, pubs, theatres and art galleries. Bolton offers excellent schools and a choice of affordable accommodation from contemporary town centre living to traditional homes on the outskirts of the town and in the near-by villages.
Bolton offers a great quality of life. It’s located in the heart of the North West, at the hub of the motorway and rail network. The big city buzz of Manchester is conveniently close and yet the expanse of the West Pennine countryside is only 10 minutes down the road. |
