Hulton

Hulton ward occupies the southern edge of Bolton, characterised by a mix of residential and open rural landscapes. The area is primarily residential, with housing ranging from post-war estates to more modern developments. Large sections of the ward consist of farmland and green spaces, including parts of the Hulton Park estate grounds. This creates a noticeable transition from urban to countryside within the ward's boundaries.

The ward is historically linked to the Hulton family, who owned the land for centuries. Hulton Park, the former estate, remains a significant green space, with its woodlands and paths used for local recreation. The area is served by local schools and community facilities centred around the neighbourhoods. The presence of old mining sites, now largely reclaimed by nature, hints at the area's industrial past alongside its agricultural character.
