Warrington

Warrington is a large town on the River Mersey, sitting between Liverpool and Manchester in the north of Cheshire. Rugby league runs deep here, with the Wolves as the town's leading side, and the golden gates of the town hall are a familiar landmark. The Bridgewater Canal winds through Stockton Heath and Lymm, where the dam and St Mary's Church make a favourite walk, while Grappenhall, Great Sankey, Birchwood and Culcheth complete the patch.
