Stunning engineering and a good visitor centre

Those of you follow Simon on social media will have already seen his stunning Marbury Lady sculpture. The sculpture is inspired by a ghost story associated with the former Marbury Estate. People in the area frequently claim to have seen this ghost, as she haunts the park. The most recent sighting is reported as being last year! Simon has carved many figures from books, movies, myths and legends, but we think this is the first time he has carved a ghost! We had another reason too for wanting to share her story. The Marbury Lady sculpture is carved from a tree that died due to salt poisoning. We wanted to share a little more about it to highlight the issue, and hopefully help prevent unnecessary damage and death to other trees.

Car park at Marbury country park charged £2.50 for the day which i thought was good value.

The Anderton Boat Lift is a tremendous feat of engineering that provides a 50 foot (15.2 m) vertical link between the River Weaver and the Trent and Mersey Canal. The structure was built in 1875 and was used for more than 100 years until it was closed in 1983 due to corrosion. Restoration started in 2001 and the lift reopened in 2002. The structure is designated as a scheduled monument.

Surprisingly, the council recycling place is just behind those trees you see on the right. The bike on the grass , used to be on the old roundabout top of town denoting the bakery as is Roberts Bakery in Northwich. Top picture of the Heron, was taken from the bridge behind me, that goes to Marbury Park, but only on foot. A very nice walk Neumans & Ashtons flashes and Carey Park are very close by

This is a great place place to stop and grab a coffee and cake also has a cool cafe and is right by the boat lift.
