The Lion Salt Works, located within the village of Marston, near Northwich, has been restored to its former glory as an open-pan salt manufacturing plant. The property is next to the Trent and Mersey Canal and is in close proximity to the Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse, as well as the historic Anderton Boat Lift, among other attractions. This £10.23 million initiative, which opened its doors in June 2015, takes visitors on a fascinating trip through the history of the country’s only open-pan salt production facility. When you visit the site and its rebuilt buildings, you will learn about the operation of the salt works as well as the influence of salt on the people, economy, and environment of mid-Cheshire, England.
Scarborough North Bay Railway
The 20 inch gauge Scarborough North Bay Railway has been delighting generations of visitors since 1931 and is a must-visit attraction at the beautiful North Yorkshire seaside resort Scarborough.
Travel between Peasholm Station, the railway’s hub next to Peasholm Park, and Scalby Mills Station situated next to Scarborough Sealife.
Your 30 minute, 2-mile return journey offers a nostalgic way to travel but also doubles as a transport link. The train takes you around the picturesque Northstead Manor Gardens with views of Scarborough Open Air Theatre, before running in parallel Scarborough’s stunning North Bay.
Children can grab a free copy of Percy the Cats’ activity sheet, spotting landmarks along the way!
