Sankey Valley Park

Type: Municipal Park

The historic 15 mile Sankey Valley follows the course of England's oldest canal, linking St. Helens with Warrington through to Widnes by footpath and cycleway.

Today this extensive, lush green corridor of woodlands, grasslands and water features is of immense value both for wildlife and recreation. Walkers and cyclists can follow the Trans Pennine Trail or explore the footpath network.

The central section of the park is family orientated with children's play features, a maze and lawned areas. Whether you enjoy walking, birdwatching, angling, cycling or just want to relax in beautiful surroundings the park has something to offer.
