This bustling town in the historic Cheshire County is packed with things to offer visitors.
Some of these include historic sights like the Norton Priory Museum and the Grappenhall Heys Walled Garden.
Warrington is also home to a thriving retail sector with a large shopping center located at the Golden Square in the middle of town.
However, Warrington’s biggest drawcard is undoubtedly Gulliver’s World, a family theme park with more than 80 rides and attractions.
There are also plenty of restaurants at the resort where you can grab a bite to eat.
If you’re looking for a break from all the action, the Sankey Valley Park is an excellent place for a leisurely afternoon stroll or a rejuvenating bike ride along the canal.
