Ellesmere Port
Set in the historic docks at Ellesmere Port, the National Waterways
Museum brings together a unique fleet of historic boats,
collections and archives to tell the story of Britain's inland
canal network.
With its stunning location on the banks of the Mersey and the
Manchester Ship Canal, extensive in-door displays, boat trips and
historic buildings, the Museum is a great day out.
Through our Heritage Boatyard we are passing on
vital heritage skills to a new generation of young people.
The museum is also home to a dynamic youth activity centre. Through a
range of projects such as arts, drama, comedy and outdoor pursuits,
we are attracting the next generation to our canals and the
museum.
For information about the youth activity centre contact Gaynor La Rocca.
In partnership with West Cheshire College, we have helped people
from Ellesmere Port discover and develop a host of new skills and
interests through the Learning is Fun project.

bright and dynamic future for the National Waterways Museum.
