Welcome to Daresbury

Daresbury is a small village located in the county of Cheshire, England. It is situated between the towns of Warrington and Runcorn, and is known for its picturesque countryside and historic landmarks. One of the most notable landmarks in Daresbury is the All Saints Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a Grade II listed building and features a beautiful stained glass window designed by the famous artist Edward Burne-Jones.

Another popular attraction in Daresbury is the Lewis Carroll Centre, which is dedicated to the life and works of the famous author of Alice in Wonderland. The centre is located in the village school where Carroll's father was once the rector. Visitors can explore the exhibition, which includes original manuscripts, photographs, and other memorabilia related to Carroll's life and work. The centre also hosts events and activities throughout the year, including storytelling sessions and workshops.

Daresbury is also home to the Daresbury Laboratory, which is a leading scientific research facility. The laboratory is operated by the Science and Technology Facilities Council and is involved in a wide range of research projects, including particle physics, astronomy, and materials science. The laboratory is open to the public on certain days of the year, and visitors can take a tour of the facility and learn about the groundbreaking research being conducted there.

The Winding Brook Offers Wet Play Or Some Where To Cool Off After Running Around All The Time.

Grappenhall Heys
Situated In A Very Nice Sybhurb Just South Of Warrington. The Best Place To Park Is By The Walled Garden On Astor Drive. On Sunny Sundays It Can Get Quite Busy. Head East Along The Walled Garden This Is A Paved Area Which Then Opens Out To A Field Which Can Be A Little Bit Boggy At Times. This Then Leads To Acopsed Area And Two Large Open Fields Which Is Great For Exercising The Poochies Witherwin Ave 3.58 miles

Spike Island Great Sankey Canal
As The Ferry Tavern Is In The Middle Of Spike Island Widnes And Sankey Valley Park Warrington I Find It The Best Place To Park As There Is Free Parking And A Dog Friendly Pub. From The Ferry Tavern You Can Choose Which Way You Want To Walk, Widnes Or Warrington But Both Paths Will Be Flat And About 4 Miles Until You Reach Nice Open Areas Ideal For Playing With Your Companion Then Walk Back Down To The Dog Friendly Tavern For Refreshments For Yourself Before You Leave. Very Nice Day Out For A Long Walker. 109 Steward'S Ave Widnes Lancashire WA8 7BP 4.95 miles This Is The Middle Of The Route From Spike Island Widnes To Sankey Valley Park, There Are Many Stops Along This Canal Where You Can Park Depending On How Far You Want To Walk. The Ferry Tavern Is A Dog Friendly Pub So I Find This The Best Place To Park.
