Activities in Cheshire

Here are some handpicked favourites so you can enjoy the best Cheshire has to offer. In the age of the Industrial Revolution, a significant canal network was built in Cheshire in order to transport raw materials. Today, the waterways provide a great venue for holiday-makers, anglers, walkers and many more.

Hiring a barge and cruising through the Cheshire canal system yourself is an increasing popular activity and a great way to explore Cheshire's delightful scenery as well as the many canal side pubs.
