The document provides directions for visiting Bolton Abbey in the United Kingdom. It notes that the best way to arrive is by bus from Leeds, which will drop visitors off at a helipad near the Abbey. A 15-minute walk through trees and past fences then leads to the ruins of the Abbey situated along a fast-flowing stream. The Abbey was once a home for peaceful Catholic Christians but is now in a state of disrepair. Despite its current condition, the surrounding area offers beautiful scenery and is a nice place to sit and socialize while taking in the views. Be prepared for unpredictable rain, but a hot cup of tea awaits visitors upon returning to the bus stop.

1. A Trip To BOLTON
ABBEY
Malham Ilkle
or y
or
Buckd Otle
en y
Then take a bus
to
through
The Best Way to get there from Leeds is to take a bus from
Headingley to

2. The entrance to the Abbey is through a
couple of helipads, situated next to a
cricket pitch, in front of a restaurant
having a large car park.
So literally you land on a helipad from
the bus.
From the bus stand you need to go right
to reach this helipad. If you go left then
you will only find horse poo after horse
poo, signs that you should get your
bearings right.
Well, you can always ask the person at
the private sauna centre present there.

3. A fifteen minute walk from the helipad through many trees and
couple of fence gates takes you to the front of the Abbey.
Your wander towards the structure, ruined by the passage of
time, is a fast flowing stream which must have seen the Bolton
Abbey at its heyday.
If only it had a vocal mouth, it could have described us the
pomp of the abbey. But it leaves us only to wonder and
speculate its past.

4. It must have been a home to
numerous peaceful catholic
Christians,
But now the Abbey has to be
content with housing only
graves,
Its ever changing reflection
must be adding to its misery,
Its high time that UK govt.
start giving it back its past
glory.

5. Perfect square shaped stones,
Lying aimlessly in the middle of the
stream,
Weathering its force year in and out,
Only for a free soul to find the real
purpose,
Of its existence.

6. As you cross the
stream,
You might come across
a lot of dark walkways,
Luring you to go
Cow Cow And through them and take
even more
s s cows……... through the
a wander
valleys of the hills
around the Abbey.
But trust me guys, the
only thing you will find
greeting you on the
other side are:

7. But if you happen to take a few
correct turns,
You might come across a huge
money trunk,
Yeah that’s right…nor a plant
neither a tree but a trunk,
Still it doesn’t make u rich even by
a penny.

8. It is a wonderful place to sit,
And catch up with your old friends,
Talk about politics or science or
anything that inspires you,
Or admire the beautiful scenic
beauty that the place has to offer.

9. Well you can trust everything in
UK,
But the weather.
And when it rains in the abbey,
Its as heavy as you could have
ever imagined,
To walk through the downpour
back to the bus stop is tedious,
But Hot Cup of Tea…… the
A what awaits you on
other side….is more than
refreshing….
