A fantastic local based workplace initiative for adults with (but list not exclusive) Learning Disabilities and Mental Health conditions in a beautiful scenic setting of a Victorian Walled Garden. Really easy to miss as you are driving past but certainly worth a visit for the opportunity to visit the gardens which are amazingly maintained with the history of the site always being respected. There is a shop on-site which you can visit which sell seasonal fruit and vegetables, crafts which are made on-site also through different craft and woodwork teams and a beautiful selection of up-cycled furniture. Also an awesome selection of bikes at very reasonable prices. The tea shop is a cosy welcoming sight to anyone who visits and is well worth a trip out in any weather conditions. Always buzzing with activity and the staff are really friendly and helpful.

6. Walton Hall and Gardens

Reviewed By Ollerbarrow - Altrincham, United Kingdom
With its Hall, extensive gardens and playgrounds, petting zoo, pitch and putt and other attractions this is a great place to bring young and old for a day out on a nice sunny day. Parking is cheap at £3 for the day and there are plenty of food outlets dotted around, although it is invariably cheaper to bring a picnic. Short term attractions will lighten your pocket, yet keep any youngsters expending more energy. A great place.

What a lovely little museum. It’s such a refreshing change to go to a museum, where my students can interact and try thing like armour on. Make drawings and writings. My class are adults learning English and they enjoyed it immensely. Well done Warrington, definitely worth a visit no matter what age you are.

Love this place, sure you will too! Dog friendly with for me the best pint of real ale in Lymm and a fantastic selection too. Sit in the warmth by the wood burner on a comfortable sofa and unwind. Post Lymm Dam dog walk must. Usually full of friendly likeminded people, which adds to the atmosphere and warmth of the place. What are you waiting for???

My husband and I visited today whilst walking our dog, and we called in at the cafe. I had the falafel wrap and my husband had the chicken wrap followed by Toffee Apple and Walnut cake ( with cream) and it was all absolutely gorgeous. The chicken was delicious and succulent and the salad was fresh, the best food we’ve had in a while. The slices of cake are generous sizes too. Some previous reviews have said they found it expensive, however it’s quality food and we think that is a fair price to pay.
