Attractions

Whenever you do venture outside, you’ve
got no end of places to go. Close to both Manchester
and Liverpool, you can stroll round the Albert Dock,
visit Wigan Pier or enjoy the charms of Chester’s
historic town centre.
If you like sporting events you are well and truly
spoiled with Haydock Racecourse, county cricket
and premier division football all close by, as well
as the equally energetic Trafford Centre Shopping
complex.
For an enjoyable family day out, try the thrills
of Camelot Theme Park or Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
The area is also dotted with evidence of Lancashire's
proud industrial past and many mills are now working
museums or mill shops.
