Bolton Abbey and the River Wharfe

Where to park

The AllTrails route parks at an area which fills up quickly. The parking around Bolton Abbey is also incredibly expensive. We therefore parked here for free, which is the half way point of the walk:

This is a great option if you fancy a fairly flat walk. The route follows the paths up and down the river, with plenty of bridges if you ever fancy swapping sides (plus some stepping stones if you are feeling brave!). The area around the Abbey was incredibly busy, but the paths along the river were much quieter. 

This walk was further improved by the presence of an icecream truck which had a clear understanding of how to cater to coeliacs. We were so impressed that we have made a separate review for them here

I loved this walk, especially as there were so many opportunities to play in the river! 😍
