Today the evidence of their wealth is still evident in some of the architecture and buildings that survive and are enjoyed by residents and visitors alike, With easy access to Liverpool, Birkenhead and the Roman City of Chester these important economic centres provide not only employment but also offer a great opportunity for those who seek retail therapy, each providing a tremendous range of local and traditional shops and stores.. If however you wish to appreciate some stunning scenery then walkers and cyclists can enjoy some of the best country lanes to be found anywhere in the UK.
