The story of culture and heritage in Cheshire has been a long and eventful one. It's a tale told in our many museums, where you can discover how the Romans conquered; why the county is built on salt and about life on our waterways.
Visit grand stately homes and ancient manor houses on a Cheshire heritage trail.
Explore castles, Iron Age hill forts and a nuclear bunker. And, for the evenings, we're rich in the arts too.
There's quality theatre, spectacular open-air performances - and even our own opera house, deep in Cheshire's countryside.

Anson Engine Museum
The Anson Engine Museum took delivery of the oldest Diesel engine in the country on 28th March - in time for the opening of the new season on Easter Sunday.
The engine was built in 1897 by Messrs Mirrlees, Watson and Yaryan in Glasgow. It was the first diesel engine made in Great Britain, and Mirrlees believe the third ever made in the world. The engine is joining the huge collection at the museum on Anson Road, Poynton.
