Anderton Boat Lift & Lion Salt Works

Anderton Boat Lift and Lion Salt Works                                              Wednesday 17^th August

The Lion Salt works is a restored, historic open-pan salt making site. You will discover how the salt works operated and its impact on mid-cheshire’s people, economy and landscape. Nicknamed ‘Cathedral of the Canals’, not only does the Anderton Boat Lift still do the job it was designed to do of lifting boats and barges 50 feet from the River Weaver, to the Trent and Mersey Canal, but it does it with the most ingenious and endearing character of any structure of the canal system. We include a boat trip on Edwin Clark, the glass sided boat which includes a lift trip and a cruise along the River Weaver.
