this a really big forest with lots of different trails and walks something for every one, my 2 border collies love it there. there are 4 different car parks that I know of but you must remember that it is a forest and be prepared for some dirt and mud in places, the only thing that spoils it for me is when people leave litter or dog poo bags for someone else to clear up, I love the piece and tranquility of the trails that are off the main areas, there is also a lot of work being done near Whitegate car park, so some of the tracks and trails are closed, they are doing lots of work reestablishing the peat bogs, and getting ready to reestablish Beavers to the area
4. Arley Hall & Gardens
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 605 reviews
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALTHOUGH THE GARDENS ARE OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK, THE HALL IS ONLY OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ON TUESDAYS, SUNDAYS AND BANK HOLIDAYS. Arley is a place of enormous character, charm and interest. Visitors are frequently struck by the warm and intimate atmosphere and the feeling that Arley is a much-cherished family home. The Gardens, which are amongst the finest in Britain, are outstanding for their vitality, variety and historical interest and are particularly celebrated for the magnificent double herbaceous border. The Hall is an impressive example of a Victorian country house built in the Elizabethan style.

We wanted to make the most of the beautiful weather but avoid the busy beaches. Arley Hall & Gardens was perfect for this! Lots of open spaces, beautiful plants, flowers & structures to explore. A feast for the eyes with all the colours of the flowers in full bloom. We took a picnic but treated ourselves with a cake from the cafe; which was fresh, flavourful and very yummy. Suitable for visitors of all ages and mobility. Easy to negotiate paths for prams/scooters/chairs. Plenty of benches to take a rest or to take in your surroundings. The hall wasn't open during our visit, but we are keen to return on a day that it is. Good value day out.

I visited with my fiance. I'm originally from northwich but don't live here any more, and in my childhood I went to this museum a lot back when it was called The Salt Museum. sadly the giant tongue with the bar code reader that tells you how much salt is in certain food is gone, but there is still a really good interactive room and many interactive parts of the display. northwich has a rich history and it was truly captivating. the lady on the desk was really welcoming and friendly, and talked us through everything with enthusiasm. the little video for introduction was entertaining and well made. all in all its a great little museum. worth visiting the lion salt works afterwards however we didn't have time during this visit - although I went to them before they were refurbished.

I bought an Owl Experience for my wife and I as a joint Christmas present, but due to Covid-19 it wasn’t until now (August) that we could actually get around to doing it. The wait was definitely well worth it..... From the moment we checked in with the helpful Vinnie and the wonderful afternoon spent with the owl handler Peter, it’s hard to describe what a great day we had. Peter was a great guide. His enthusiasm, care and knowledge for his birds was evident to see, add in his humorous and friendly manner it made for a perfect afternoon. My son tagged along as a spectator, but the ‘non-fliers’ were just as involved as the lucky ones doing the handling, so I’d definitely going along as a spectator. We took so many photos it was hard to choose a favourite, and the owls were so photogenic, they made great subjects. I’d definite recommend it and the Covid-19 safety measures were implemented well and didn’t effect our wonderful day. Can’t thank you enough, we’ve so many great memories of the day.

The Lion Salt Works is a restored historic open-pan salt making site, in the village of Marston, close to Northwich. The site lies adjacent to the Trent and Mersey Canal, close to Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse, and the historic Anderton Boat Lift. This £10.23 million project opened in June 2015 offering a fascinating journey through the life of the country's last open-pan salt making site. When exploring the site and its restored buildings, you will discover how the salt works operated and the impact of salt on mid-Cheshire's people, economy and landscape.
Reviewed By StephenD918 - Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom
This attraction boasts a modern cafe/shop/ticket office. It contrasts nicely with the former working area, parts have been restored to show how the work took place. There are other parts that show the state of the place before restoration took place. There are interactive displays that show how salt was produced on the site. The history of salt in the area is told from before Roman times to modern days. The flooring can be uneven, so care is needed. The cafe is also worth a visit

Being an avid film fan, I visit most cinemas within a 30 mile radius and I have to say Odeon Barons Quay is my favourite. Lovely new facilities and such polite chatty staff, it really makes it a pleasurable experience even with children! ???? Shelby who works at Costa was very efficient on my latest visit and also went the extra mile when I'd realised I'd chosen the wrong panini, she had the right one delivered to me to my seat! My coffee was perfect and that's not easy when you want a 2shot, medium, decaf, coconut blah blah blah!????
