 The Uplifting Experience Tour  Your guide will meet you in Northwich, and then you will travel to Arley Hall for refreshments in the 16th century Tudor Barn. Dating from 1832 Arley Hall is in a beautiful setting with gardens rated in the top 10 in Britain. It is then a short journey through the Cheshire countryside to your next stop, the Anderton Boat Lift. Built in 1875 to raise 100-ton barges 50ft from the River Weaver to the Trent and Mersey Canal the excellent visitor centre will enable you to see in action a masterpiece of Victorian engineering. There is time to linger here and you will take a cruise on the river to Northwich Town Swing Bridge along the Weaver Navigation. On your return you will have the unique experience of travelling up on the boat lift. Lunch will be taken here. From Anderton you will travel through the beautiful Delamere Forest, once the hunting grounds of the Earls of Chester and now a major source of home-grown timber.
