Connected by waterways, this quiet tranquil town is like stepping back in time

Nestled in the Dee Valley is a tiny town frozen in time that is a popular tourist destination for people in Merseyside.

Today, visitors to the town can enjoy a step back in time to a quieter pace of life with a 157-year-old railway line still in use for trips to quaint stations along the track after its restoration in the 1970s and has many vintage artefacts that are reminiscent of the birth of the railways. The current bridge in the centre of the town built over the River Dee was constructed in the 1600s but there has been a crossing over the babbling waters since at least 1284.

The canal waterways connect to the River Mersey with its original purpose to connect the mineral industries, such as coal, to the Port of Liverpool. Now, it has a quieter existence, with leisure cruises and people taking time out from the daily stresses of life.
