Explore Ellesmere Port
Known for
The Boat Museum (the world's largest collection of canal boats), the Stanlow oil refinery, the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet, and a Merseyside canal port with extraordinary waterway heritage
A little history
Ellesmere Port grew as the terminus of the Shropshire Union Canal — the canal boats unloaded here for transhipment to larger vessels on the Mersey. The National Waterways Museum (formerly the Boat Museum) preserves the extraordinary canal heritage. Stanlow oil refinery dominates the skyline.
The National Waterways Museum is genuinely excellent — the largest collection of historic canal craft in the world. Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet for shopping. The canal basin for the heritage atmosphere.
