    About The Blue Anchor

    The Blue Anchor sits in the heart of Bolton-le-Sands with a medium-sized beer garden facing south (185°). That near-due-south orientation gives it one of the best midday sun windows in the area — direct sunshine from around 10am through to 4pm on a clear day. The sheltered garden is tucked behind the building, offering some protection from wind while keeping the sun exposure wide open.
