Sankey Valley Park is a public park in Warrington, Cheshire. It occupies part of the Sankey Valley, and the main park itself covers over 1½ miles between Sankey Bridges in the south and Callands in the north. The valley follows the course of Sankey Brook and the now disused Sankey Canal. The park is enjoyed by walkers, cyclists and anglers, and the central section of the park is family orientated with children's play features, a maze and lawn areas. Bewsey Old Hall (and the Maltings Public House) sit on the edge of the central section of the park. The Trans Pennine Trail passes around 500 yards (460 m) from the southern tip of the park.

What a great View! Well worth the slog up the hill!

The Ferry Tavern (formerly The Ferry Inn) is one of Warrington’s oldest pubs. It has arguably the best setting in the town nestling on its own island between the River Mersey and the Sankey to St Helen’s canal. It is in a unique position situated on the Trans Pennine Trail attracting hikers, ramblers, cyclists, and horse riders as they make their way along the trail. A charming olde worlde inn, The Ferry is light and airy in the summer where customers can take advantage of the views over the river from our large beer garden and welcoming in the winter with a roaring stove fire. Andy and Jade have been licensees here since May 2005 after taking over the business from Jade’s parents Pat and Terry who took over the pub in 1992 after it had been derelict for 2 years following fire damage.

This memorial, erected in a prominent location, towers high above the landscape of Frodsham Hill, about two kilometers from the banks of the Mersey, which flows past Liverpool before reaching its estuary. Despite its beautiful location and fantastic views (weather permitting), it has a serious significance: it commemorates the many victims of war and tyranny claimed by the two terrible world wars in the first half of the last century. Thus, each of these WAR MEMORIALS, which hikers encounter time and again in so many places, has a message that remains relevant today: to remember the need to preserve peace!

very steep but unbelievable scenery

The Sankey Canal opened in 1757, following the valley along the Sankey Brook, however was abandoned between 1931 and 1963. The canal has been under restoration since 1985 with the formation of the Sankey Canal Restoration Society. The trail then enters the linear Sankey Valley Park, a lovely green corridor, that has links to the Trans-Pennine Trail and follows a stretch of Sankey Canal and Sankey Brook. Along the way you will pass through woodlands, farmlands, and parkland with scenic paths and chance to spot some wildlife as you wind to Carr Mill where you can enjoy some refreshments. Returning to the start will require more than one bus so check schedules before heading out. While for the most part the paths are well-surfaced but care is needed in wetter conditions when sections can be muddy and slippery. There are also some stairs along the route.

The Trans Pennine Trail is a coast-to-coast route across the entire breadth of England from Southport to Hornsea. It is well signposted and a walk or cycle could use all or part of the Trail in either direction. Some sections are also suitable for horse riding. The Mersey section follows the routes of many of the areas historic transport links: the disused Timperley-Garston and Cheshire Lines railways, the Manchester Ship Canal, the Runcorn-Latchford (Black Bear) Canal, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and the St Helens Canal. Although it is now disused, the St Helens Canal used to be known as the Sankey Canal and was the first canal of the industrial revolution. It was built to transport coal to the chemical industries in Liverpool. These industries subsequently expanded and spread back along the canal to St Helens itself.

It's by a pub

One of Warrington's oldest pubs, with a superb setting on its own island nestled between the River Mersey and the Sankey to Saint Helen's canal. Enjoy a bite to eat with beautiful views of the waterways and the local bird and wildlife.

Spike Island was the site of the famous outdoor concert by the Stone Roses on May 1990. Created in 1833, it had the world's first rail-to-ship dock. Now repurposed for recreation with parkland, wetlands, woodland and footpaths.
