National Waterways Museum1
Enjoy a day out at the National Waterways Museum where time slows down and history comes to life. Designed by the great civil engineer Thomas Telford, the docks at Ellesmere Port were still in use as late as the 1950s. They were a marvellously self-contained world and when you visit the museum today you can still walk around its locks, docks and warehouses and visit its forge, stables and workers cottages. There’s so much to explore from the handsome Victorian buildings, which house the museum’s fascinating displays, to the new Augmented Reality on the historic slipway. Home to historic boats, our very own trip boat plus visiting narrow boats. With world-class attractions and a year-round events calendar featuring everything from the annual Easter Boat Gathering, to Horses at Work and at War and a programme of temporary exhibitions, there’s always a reason to visit.
