1. Warrington Play & Sensory Centre

Reviewed By NicTilley - Warrington, United Kingdom
We've been coming here regularly for a couple of years, it's my girls' favourite place to play and relax. It's smaller than most play centres but certainly not cramped or crowded by any means... The sensory room is amazing.. the chill zone with ball pool and usually a movie showing is fab.. then the main playframe is great and suitable for both children and adults with additional needs. My only point to those wanting to visit is check the timetable which is posted on their Facebook site weekly as this changes all the time to suit bookings for schools, groups etc... The menu is basic but this is understandable with a small staff team, always hot and fresh!
2. 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.

Even though we visited at the end of the season, the gardens were more stunning than I imagined. It’s a beautiful place for an afternoon wander and a slice of cake, and we’ve bought some lovely plants here too! I’m looking forward to visiting again in the Spring.

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.

Lovely place to take you back in time . Started walk from Crouchley lane . Wandered down path to the Dam ,with lovely views . Then up to main A56 near St Mary's church .across the road to go down a steep steps to the Dingle to the village pond and weir . Checked all the shops and cafes and up to the Cross . Then Along by the Canal for a short walk and back to the bridge to go down a lane to look at the TPT Trans Pennine Trail going East to West . Nice and flat for walks and cycles . Then back to the village and sit by the Pond to take in the lovely surroundings . Then back up the Dingle retraceing our steps to cross main road again to the Dam . And followed the path to the Bongs . As far as the Wishing bridge circular route around the Dam, followed trail back to the start . Nice day out.

8. Bridgewater Canal
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 34 reviews
Reviewed By FurryMadKat - Northwich, United Kingdom
I count myself very lucky to live 5 minutes walk from the canal as it passes through Lymm. It always offers me a beautiful walk into the village in one direction which I far prefer to the busy roads, or to Dunham Massey in the other! A walk along this section of the canal is safe for families in on foot or even on cycles if accompanied. The paths are narrow in places and with many walkers bikes can sometimes be a problem. These is always so much to see, wildlife or some of the many boats and colourful barges that travel these waterways. There are so many access points along the canal, including providing access to places of interest, historical or nature, and refreshments, that the length of your walk can be easily tailored to your needs.

This is a great place for a family walk. It is an easy walk, mostly flat. There are some great rope swings dotted around which the kids loved. Would be great for bikes as lots of mud ramps etc.
