Further information

Slitten gorge & the remains of the Slitting Mill are well worth including on a longer walk, the area tends to be quiet when other areas around the village are crowded. The access down from Whitbarrow road is steep (e.g. you would have to carry a push chair), but the gorge is a lovely contrast to the nearby village centre. Accessible access via Dane Bank road.

The Lymm Archive (Lymm Heritage Centre) has photos showing earlier excavations here

Parking - please use the village centre car parks
