Lymm Dam is an area of great beauty and tranquillity. Its woodlands and meadows are teeming with wildlife and the site’s history gives it a unique character. Whether you enjoy horse riding, angling, bird watching, walking or just relaxing in beautiful surroundings, Lymm Dam makes a great place for a day out. Kids enjoy climbing on the sandstone outcrop below the church. As well as parking on the A56 there is off-road parking to the east of the Dam off Crouchley Road behind the church.
The focal point of the village
Large viaduct that carries the M6 over the Manchester Ship Canal (hence its height) the River Mersey plus various roads. Originally opened in July 1963. The second bridge opened in 1995.
Opened in 1894 making Manchester a port. For an unusual view, try the Thelwall Ferry at the astronomical cost of 11p per trip
Enjoy a walk along the canal, west towards Runcorn or east towards Altrincham, it is possible to make a circular walk by returning along the disused railway line.
Standard garden centre made interesting by the addition of the miniature railway, great for kids' rides.
