Visiting the museum is like stepping back in time to the age when the canals formed the highways of England. The museum is a great day out destination for all ages. Just off the M53, 10 minutes' outside Chester with free parking, cafe, gift shop and a superb calendar of events.
Museum about the history of life on the canals. (about 30 minutes away)
On the banks of the Mersey and the Manchester Ship Canal, the National Waterways Museum includes numerous indoor displays, boat trips, historic Victorian-era buildings, and of course, the canal with its many wonderful locks. Designed by Thomas Telford under the direction of William Jessop, the docks at Ellesmere Port were still in use as late as the 1950s. Visitors can explore their unique workings as well as the docks and warehouses, a working forge, stables, and workers' cottages.
