Location, Location, Location – Northwich

The delightful market-town of Northwich is perfectly positioned within leafy Cheshire, yet sits snugly between the two bustling North West cities of Liverpool and Manchester.

It’s location and great travel links make it the perfect area for those looking to commute to places of work in the region. However, there is so much more on offer in this historical riverside town to give local residents good reason for postcode pride.

Positioned on the conflux of the rivers Weaver and Dane, which meets directly at the town centre, Northwich has an abundance of links to the water.

Taking full advantage of a riverside setting is the convenient Barons Quay retail and leisure development. It is set to be a thriving retail and leisure quarter that will enhance Northwich town centre as a place where people can eat, drink, shop and enjoy. Scheduled for completion in Autumn 2016 it will be anchored by a new Odeon Cinema, M&S and an ASDA superstore and will feature six restaurants each enjoying tranquil waterside views.

If you’re looking for something a little more active, Northwich Rowing Club regularly take advantage of the River Weaver and are seen on the water perfecting their techniques. The club welcomes everyone and has teams that compete at local, national and international levels throughout the year. If the opportunity to wake at ‘rower o’clock’ and dip your toes in the water sounds like the ideal morning activity, then Northwich is the location for you.

For those looking for family activities, just three miles upstream and nestled between the River Weaver and Budworth Mere is the popular Marbury Park. The park offers the opportunity to walk, run or cycle with the added bonus of riverside views framed by an abundance of greenery.

It’s not only the activities and amenities of Northwich that make it so appealing. The community spirit is unrivaled which becomes clear each year over the August Bank Holiday weekend, when the Moss Farm site hosts the annual Northwich Festival, organised jointly by Northwich Rugby Club and the Cheshire West & Chester Council.
