Thank you to Andy for leading the walking tour of historical Welsh Row. From the Frog Channel to the nearest house to the great fire of Nantwich to have survived. Very informative and I would recommend.

This parish church is a complete gem which in certain aspects can compete with many cathedrals..The star of the show is its chancel with its vault, bosses and magnificent windows.Best of all are the superb choir stalls which are only really bettered by the earlier set at Chester Cathedral..A real plus was the brave step taken by the arch victorian church restorer George Gilbert Scott to open up the space under the central tower to put a coloured vault which is most effective..If all this is not enough there is a magnificent medieval stone pulpit an interesting 17th centry one..There are interesting monuments,victorian screens even an attractive 1970's tapistery.This is a real treasure house which needs shouting about and visiting.The local church needs to be commended for keeping this church open and well cared for.

4.0 based on 676 reviews
Discover the secret world of nuclear government. For over 50 years this vast underground complex, remained secret, hidden on the outskirts of a sleepy Cheshire town. Declassified in 1993, the 35,000 sq ft underground bunker would have been the centre of Regional Government had nuclear war broken out. The bunker today offers a warm welcome to anyone looking for a totally different day out.

Backed up by some amazing artefacts this museum tells the story of the UK's Cold War preparations and many of technologies in use including radar and the role of the ROC. There is more than enough material to justify multiple visits for those who want to take in all the detail, but a couple of hours would be sufficient to gain a really interesting overview. There is plenty parking, a good cafe and a well stocked gift shop.

Visited the Reaseheath College Lambing Event and the small Zoo at Nantwich, Cheshire. Plenty of space to park, very helpful staff, and good facilities and well organised. The children were entranced watching the sheep giving birth to tiny lambs, and were amazed to see these lambs rising and walking about almost as soon as they were born. Would definitely attend other events organised by this establishment. Very informative and well run. The facility is easy to get to, as it is just off the ring-road around Nantwich town. Well signposted. It is close to the M6 motorway and close to Crewe mainline station. Nantwich also has a station, but I believe this is not a main-line one, but you need to change at Crewe.

Linked to the chuch the tower is a watchtower primarily. Surrounded by woods and maintains by a trust. Volunteers work hard to raise money that's ploughed back to secure the towers future. Wybunbury village lies within South Cheshire, the village falls 5 miles south of Crewe and 3.5 miles east of Nantwich. One of the main features of Wybunbury is the medieval Tower. The Tower dominates the village and its surrounding countryside. It is a Grade A listed building, 96 feet high dating from the 15th Century. The Tower stands on a small hill at the junction of Main Road and Bridge Street, in the centre of a Conservation Area. Wybunbury Church was built in 1893. The Church was at some time dedicated to the Mercian Bishop of St. Chad who established his See at Lichfield in 669. Known as the ‘Hanging Steeple of Wybunbury’ because of its tendency to lean, the Tower has undergone two remarkable feats of engineering to straighten it. The Church was demolished in 1977. A new Church for Wybunbury was soon built on a new site further down Main Road ‘St Chad’s Church’. The Tower remained intact on the churchyard grounds, in splendid isolation as a landmark for South Cheshire. The Tower now belongs to the people of Wybunbury, who formed a Trust to save it and its six bells in 1986

I really must respond to PDM1000's review from March 2020. I was present during his tirade. The duty staff tried to help him by contacting the dealer whose clock it was. Regardless of whether or not a refund should be given (the clock was returned with a dent on the side), the duty staff were polite and helpful at all times. The only row that ensued was entirely from the customer's side. He simply could not grasp the idea that all the units are run by individual dealers. The duty staff tried to explain that they cannot hand over a large cash refund without clearance from the dealer concerned. This customer insisted that he was taking 'Dagfields' to court and would not listen to any explanations of how the centre operates. Having looked at his other reviews I am left with the distinct impression that ranting is his favourite pastime. I shall enjoy my future visits to Dagfields all the more without him there. My opinion is that Dagfields is a great place for a browse. There is something for everyone. It's great for gifts, homewares, books, tropical fish, plants and now there is an excellent farm shop on site. Plenty of free parking and 2 cafes. Don't let the opinion of this unpleasant individual put you off visiting.
