Winsford has much to offer the visitor, with the railway station being very close to the Winsford Industrial Estate. This pioneering estate was the first industrial estate in the UK to become a Business Improvement District in November 2005.
The WEAVER PARKWAY is a wildlife rich restored landscape, along the Weaver Navigation. Taking you deep into some of Cheshire’s finest countryside, this 40 mile route follows the gentle path of meandering waterways, down the spine of this beautiful county.
There is sailing, fishing and walking at WINSFORD FLASHES. The Flashes are now an area of natural beauty on the River Weaver. They were formed when the underground caverns from where the salt had been pumped out as brine collapsed.
The WINSFORD ROCK SALT MINE is the oldest working mine in Britain. The mine contains enormous caverns more like a cathedral than a working mine and has roads big enough for large lorries and heavy machinery. Although the mine is not open to the public, it has a super informative website with video clips and image library.
The WHITEGATE WAY is the former railway line that took the salt away from the mine. Walk, ride or cycle along this ideal traffic-free link from Winsford to Cuddington, near Delamere Forest Park. |
