50 Great Days Out

From grand country estates to action-packed activity centres, and everything in between, Cheshire and its surrounding area has something for everyone. With many of our attractions beginning to re-open their doors* we share 50 highlights from across our stunning county. We cannot wait to welcome you back to #OurCheshire

Anderton Boat Lift

The so-called Cathedral of the Canals is not only visually stunning but an industrial masterpiece designed to lift boats and barges between the River Weaver Navigation and Trent and Mersey Canal. The site has a visitor centre, coffee shop, play area and offers boat trips on the canal or in the lift, making it a perfect family day out. visitcheshire.com/things-to-do/ anderton-boat-lift-p245491

Arley Hall and Gardens

With such an elaborate, attractive demeanour, it is unsurprising Arley Hall & Gardens was chosen as the home of Tommy Shelby in Peaky Blinders. Onsite, you can discover the history of Arley’s past residents, and stroll throughout some of Europe’s finest gardens, including one of England’s earliest herbaceous borders. visitcheshire.com/things-to-do/ arley-hall-and-gardens-p29581

Backford Belles Ice Cream

Backford Belles, established in 2009, is home to a herd of Jersey cows that produce milk for the attraction’s signature ice cream. Enjoy the frozen delight from a cone, tub or even incorporate it into a milkshake. Aside from the ice cream, Backford Belles has a small farm where you can admire the calves, hens and pigs, and maybe even ride a tractor. visitcheshire.com/ things-to-do/backford-belles-icecream-p245101
