Throughout the year we arrange trips to places of interest where we visit and also have a walk in the English countryside.
We will run a minibus and cars, and transport for the trip is free, but you must register online if you need it.
Transport places we can offer will be limited, and those registering first will be allocated places first – so please register early but also let us know if you have registered but are then unable to come.
The minibus and cars pick up at 10am from Maudland Bank (which is the road that runs down the side of the front car part of uclan Foster building). Students and visiting scholars will be returned to this location in mid to late afternoon. |

Bolton Abbey, New Years Day Walk
  
  
On New Years Day 1st January we will have an outing to Bolton Abbey in Yorkshire. This is a beautiful valley with a river running through it, and is the site of a ruined abbey. . It was Cecilia de Romille's daughter, Alice, who granted the Augustinian monks this land at Bolton in 1155. The priory was dissolved in January 1539 as part of the programme of King Henry the eighth who wanted the money! The nave of the church is still used as the Parish Church. The tower at the west end of the nave of the church was commenced by Prior Richard Moone in 1520, but was never completed. Further details are on http://www.boltonabbey.com/.
Here are the details of the outing:
-
The transport will leave the university at 10am as usual.
-
Walks can be between 2-5 miles depending on what you want.
-
You can bring a picnic or buy lunch in the café there.
- We will return in late afternoon.
As usual transport is free, but please register. If, for any reason, you are unable to come, please email to let us know.
