Welcome to Preston Brook

Preston Brook is a small village located in the county of Cheshire, England. It is situated on the banks of the Bridgewater Canal, which was built in the 18th century to transport coal from the mines in Worsley to Manchester. The canal played a significant role in the industrial revolution and helped to transform the economy of the region. Today, the canal is a popular destination for boaters and walkers, and the village has a thriving community.

One of the most notable landmarks in Preston Brook is the Preston Brook Tunnel, which is part of the Bridgewater Canal. The tunnel is over 1.2 miles long and was built in the early 19th century. It was a major engineering feat at the time and is still an impressive structure today. The tunnel is now used by narrowboats and is a popular attraction for visitors to the area.

Preston Brook is also home to a number of businesses, including a large industrial estate. The estate is home to a range of companies, from small start-ups to large multinational corporations. The village has good transport links, with easy access to the M56 motorway and a railway station that provides regular services to Manchester and Liverpool. Overall, Preston Brook is a charming village with a rich history and a bright future.

From The Ferry Tavern You Can Choose Which Way You Want To Walk, Widnes Or Warrington But Both Paths Will Be Flat And About 4 Miles Until You Reach Nice Open Areas Ideal For Playing With Your Companion Then Walk Back Down To The Dog Friendly Tavern For Refreshments For Yourself Before You Leave. Very Nice Day Out For A Long Walker. 109 Steward'S Ave Widnes Lancashire WA8 7BP 5.05 miles This Is The Middle Of The Route From Spike Island Widnes To Sankey Valley Park, There Are Many Stops Along This Canal Where You Can Park Depending On How Far You Want To Walk.
