A memorial monument erected in 1845 in memory of a local mine-owner John Wedgwood

Nantwich (/ˈnæntwɪtʃ/ NAN-twitch) is a market town. It has among the highest concentrations of listed buildings in England, with notably good examples of Tudor and Georgian architecture. It had a population of 14,045 in 2021 Amazing building its a beautiful place to visit.

Nestled within captivating surroundings, Winterley Pool emerges as a favoured fishing lake, offering a tranquil haven for both anglers and nature enthusiasts alike. An idea spot to pause and immerse oneself in the breathtaking scenery. Abundant in wildlife, the pool is graced by a resident flock of mute swans.

The Nantwich Aqueduct, a Grade II listed bridge, stands as a testament to the vision of Thomas Telford, its construction being finalized in 1828. This aqueduct gracefully bears the weight of the Shropshire Union Canal, serving as the remarkable 'Gateway to Nantwich.' In 2015, restoration efforts were undertaken. This ambitious endeavour, secured victory in the restoration and historic environment category of the prestigious Canal & River Trust's Living Waterways Awards in 2016.

Nantwich is a hidden gem with lots of old Tudor and Georgian buildings and cafes to stop at, plus lots of roads around the town have been freshly tarmacked.

Great spot to stop and rest with some wildlife nearby. Particularly goof for birdwatchers.

Picturesque lake popular with anglers.

‘ The most perfect workmanship ‘ A Thomas Telford masterpiece.

This large stone monument on the summit is dedicated to John Wedgwood (1760–1839), a former local employer and coal mine owner. (NOT Josiah Wedgwood) Wedgwood's monument was initially an obelisk erected in 1850. Following storm damage in 1976 it was reduced to a quarter of its original size, although the base is still substantial. The monument is a Grade II listed building. The monument is today reachable by footpaths, and is the highest point in the area. It affords sweeping 360-degree views: south to Cannock Chase and the city of Stoke-on-Trent; north across the Cheshire Plains to Jodrell Bank radio telescope; east to Mow Cop Castleand the Peak District; and west to the mountains of North Wales and Snowdonia.

A fantastic viewpoint for this trig. 360 degree views! Sadly the local council saw fit to try and close off the trig with barbed wire. There is no reason at all for such a precaution. However, the nearby Wedgwood Memorial is perfectly accessible.

Lovely rest spot with benches looking over water.

The wheel itself originated at Annesley Colliery in Nottinghamshire. It took 3 lorries and assistance from the Territorial Army to transport its 30 foot by 19 foot 7 tonnes to Apedale. Keith Meeson, an ex-miner, can be thanked - he was one of the people responsible for setting up Apedale Heritage Centre and paid what sounds like a bargain £100 for the wheel. It was a bit more expensive to get the wheel here; a £15,000 Countryside Agency grant helped fund its restoration and placement.
