Bolton

> Welcome to GMeP  > Greater Manchester Map Links  > Bolton

Bolton is a very special place. It is a dynamic, vibrant town with a positive reputation. A place where people enjoy living, working, learning and visiting - and where people will return again and again, because they feel welcome.

In the heart of Greater Manchester, Bolton is a Borough of contrasts. Surrounded by glorious countryside and yet with easy access to major cities and transport links. It is seeped in history but has an exciting future to look forward to with new developments emerging all the time.

It is a thriving town where families can relax and enjoy a day out; visit the vast array of shops in a pedestrianised town centre; the excellent sporting facilities like Reebok and Bolton Arena; take in the rich heritage that celebrates Bolton’s glorious past.

The last few years have seen major developments take place – the town’s striking centrepiece Victoria Square; the thriving leisure and retail centres at Middlebrook, Market Place and The Gates and there is more to come.
