- The Parish Church of St Peter
The church was built in 1849 in a neo-gothical style using stone from a nearby ancient farm. Belmont has a strong sense of community and St Peters Church holds lots of events for all ages to enjoy and come together. It’s by Wards Reservoir and provides a lovely day out if you want to appreciate its impressive architecture.

Avid anglers rejoice! There are a number of fisheries, lakes and reservoirs in the surrounding area where you can expect to find brown and rainbow trout, silver fish, perch and salmon. Just imagine cooking up freshly caught fish for dinner in your brand new kitchen!
- Bolton Sailing Club
Calling all Salty Seadogs! Bolton Sailing Club is over 60 years old and one of the longest established sailing clubs in the North West. Situated alongside a picturesque 40-hectare reservoir in the shadow of Winter Hill, it’s ideal for experienced sailors and beginners too.
