National Waterways Museum. Please click for www.nwm.org.uk

The real experience of canal life. The boat museum, with the worlds largest floating collection of canal craft, is set in Ellesmere Port's historic 200 year-old dock complex. Here you can discover the fascinating social and industrial history of Britain's canals. Hop aboard and explore the narrow boat cabins to experience how families lived and worked on the inland waterways, or try your hand at operating the interactive steam-powered crane. Then step back in time to visit the Victorian housekeeper in Porters Row and rediscover traditional toys and games of bygone days.

South Pier Road, Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, CH65 4FW.
