Anderton

A few miles away from Northwich is Anderton, where you can see the world’s first ever boat lift that was built in 1875. The lift links the Trent & Mersey Canal with the River Weaver by carrying vessels through the 50-foot height differential of the two waterways.

Explore Anderton Nature Park, where you can follow the new wildflower trail to discover rare and unusual plants. Or gaze at the dragonflies putting on a display over the pond.
