Welcome to The Marsh

The Marsh is a beautiful and serene location situated in the heart of Cheshire. It is a vast expanse of wetland that is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna.

The Marsh is also a great place for a peaceful walk, with its winding paths and stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

The Marsh is not just a place of natural beauty, but it also has a rich history. The area was once used for peat extraction, and the remains of the peat workings can still be seen today.

The Marsh has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to its unique ecology and history.

The Marsh is a place of great importance to the local community, and it is a popular destination for school trips and educational visits. The Marsh offers a range of educational activities, including guided walks, bird watching, and nature trails. The Marsh is also home to a visitor centre, which provides information about the history and ecology of the area.
