Hotels in Cheshire

Tucked between rural Wales and the metropolitan North, Cheshire is a slice of countryside both close to major centres in Liverpool and Manchester and remote enough to find a corner for a walkabout or quiet boat ride. Its waterways have long been critical to shipping and industry in the north and its museums—on waterways, the salt industry, and engine design—make Cheshire a destination for education and exploration.
