A little history
Middlewich — the Roman Salinae — has been producing salt since Roman times. The town's position at the junction of major canals made it a vital industrial hub. The Folk and Boat Festival, held annually, is one of England's finest canal festivals. The town has three canals passing through it.
The canal junction is extraordinary — narrowboats threading through the town. The Folk and Boat Festival in June is genuinely excellent. The salt heritage at the Middlewich Heritage Museum. The canal walks from the town.
