Top 15 Attractions and Activities in Warrington, Lancashire
Located in an area characterized by heavy industry, Warrington experienced significant growth during the 1960s when it was designated as a “New Town.” Although manufacturing continues to provide substantial employment opportunities, the services sector has largely supplanted the historical factories, complemented by abundant green spaces due to a designated “green belt.” The town possesses remarkable relics of industrial heritage, such as the imposing Warrington Transporter Bridge and the Manchester Ship Canal, which was once the largest canal globally.
