Family Days Out in Northwich

If you’re looking for a family day out in the Northwich area then you’ve come to the right place. We’ve got plenty of great ideas for days out in Northwich that are perfect for children below. Famed for its natural resources of salt that have been mined from the Northwich area since Roman times a good place to start is the Lion Salt Works Trust where one of the last saltworks in the country has been preserved and maintained with a series of informative displays that show how the works once operated and how they used the salt. If the weather’s particularly nice on your trip to Northwich then one place to definitely check out is Great Budworth Real Dairy Ice Cream Farm where you can get to see a fully-functioning dairy farm in operation and more importantly get to taste some of their delicious produce! The route from the attractive village of Great Budworth to the farm is relatively short and scenic and makes for a good opportunity to balance out any ice-cream overindulgence! Meanwhile any bird fans should head to the Cheshire Falconry Centre where there are all manner of these magnificent birds-of-prey and you can watch them in full flight with their handlers.
