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.

8/10 Very Good! (212 reviews)

Decent location. Free parking. Clean. Decor a little tired. Room door would only close fully from the inside so we couldn't leave valuables in the room. Mentioned to staff, was not fixed during our stay.
