20 Best Things To Do In Warrington Near Me | Attractions in Cheshire
"Named after Mr. Fletcher Moss (who donated the park’s grounds to the city), these Botanical Gardens are part plant showcase, part wildlife habitat, and part recreational facility. The plant life here is renowned for its beauty, and contains several unusual varieties. Some of the older specimens have grown there since the foundation of the park a full century ago."
"A walk together in the outdoors is just the thing to keep this romantic day rolling. The Fletcher Moss Botanical Gardens is an organic dream with a nature trail that winds through gardens and wooded areas. Visitors should investigate the botanical gardens and the old parsonage, which is historic and adds a picturesque quality to the scene."
"This limestone cave within walking distance of the centre of Buxton is two million years old, and was inhabited by people in the Bronze Age and Roman Period. The cave has been on the tourist map for nearly 350 years, and before that is believed to have been visited by Mary Queen of Scots. Follow a guided tour deep underground to explore vast limestone caverns and see how crystal stalactites have lined the chambers over millions of years."
"The Peak District's extraordinary geology can be seen up close in this large limestone cave far beneath the 100 acres of Buxton Country…"
"Originally built by the Victorians, the Pavillion Gardens are made up of 23 acres of pleasure gardens situated right in the centre of town. Stroll past the colourful flower beds, spread your picnic blanket out under the shade of a tree, go boating on the lake, let the kids loose in the play area and take a ride on the miniature train. This is truly the perfect place to while away a sunny afternoon."
"If you’re going to be visiting Legoland, be aware that Manchester’s SEA LIFE centre is located right next door and a joint ticket can be purchased for both destinations. You can roam the centre, walking through tunnels of exotic fish and coming face to face with sharks and stingrays; your kids can also have a go at diving in the immersive sea trek experience. Anyone can participate in this fantastic activity (the only one of its kind in Europe), wearing a special breath-easy helmet and a wetsuit to ensure that they are safe and comfortable during the ten-minute dive into the deep."
"Then, Sea Life Manchester Aquarium is an amazing place to visit to get into marine life. You get to see many beautiful species from starfish to seahorses to sharks and many more. Come and witness these beautiful creatures in the crystal clear waters!"
"There are four show caves open to the public in and around Castleton: Peak Cavern, Speedwell Cavern, Treak Cliff Cavern and the Blue John Mine."

"Climb up to Hen’s Cloud, go past the mysterious Doxey Pool and then across the Roaches to bag the Roaches trig!. The Roaches is a popular spot with climbers and rock enthusiasts. It is thought that wallabies (released from a zoo) roam the area, but we didn’t manage to spot any, so it may be a legend."
"The Roaches is located above Leek and Tittesworth Reservoir and is loved by hikers and climbers alike. The impressively rugged and steep gritstone ridge is home to mythical mermaids and 15 metre natural gritstone clefts."
"We spent a beautiful weekend in the Roaches and it is the best place for walking enthusiasts in the Peaks!. There are also some beautiful rock formations."
