Blundell Arms

Located in a picturesque area where stunning architecture and history harmoniously coexist, the pub boasts unique stone slate roofs and elegant dressed stone and quoins on its exterior. Within a short 15-minute walk, guests can discover the Grade II listed Holy Trinity Church, consecrated in 1831 and designed by the esteemed religious architect Francis Octavius Bedford. Nearby, Horwich Parish Hall, another remarkable Grade II building erected in 1793, shares a close connection with the church, evidenced by its staff being remunerated from the Sunday service collection.

Bolton is home to Smithills Hall, a historic Grade I listed mansion, along with other notable stately homes like Chorley’s Astley Hall. Situated just a 40-minute drive from central Manchester and Liverpool, and less than an hour from the dog-friendly Arnside and Silverdale, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the Blundell Arms offers an ideal base for exploring the region’s key attractions.

For those drawn to this charming area, the Blundell Arms provides a delightful historic setting to enjoy delectable traditional pub fare, including leisurely Sunday lunches and seasonal specials.
