Whether you're a landlubber or a sailor who's faced a few storms, National Waterways Museum is a fun and educational day out. People of all ages are sure to enjoy walking around the displays and artifacts on show.

Located in Ellesmere Port, this display of maritime artifacts is well worth a look. But you'll find plenty more to see in the area. Chester Zoo, Paul McCartney's childhood home, and Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet aren't too far away from National Waterways Museum.
