Runcorn sits on the southern bank of the River Mersey, linked to Widnes by the iconic Silver Jubilee Bridge and the more modern Mersey Gateway. It's got an industrial edge, but don't let that fool you—it's a town with pockets of character, green spaces, and a surprising sense of community. With easy links to Liverpool and Manchester, it's a practical place to live that's been quietly evolving behind the scenes.

The town's roots go back to at least the 10th century, starting life as a small settlement with a monastic background. Things took a major turn during the Industrial Revolution when Runcorn became a key player in shipping, chemicals and manufacturing. The arrival of the Bridgewater Canal gave it a boost, and by the mid-20th century, it had been designated a New Town to absorb overspill from Liverpool. That brought waves of redevelopment and a more modern layout. These days, Runcorn has a population of around 62,000, and while it still holds onto its industrial heritage, it's branching out into more diverse jobs and services.

There's more to Runcorn than just its industrial past. Norton Priory Museum and Gardens is one of the town's standout attractions—a former medieval abbey with a walled garden and museum, tucked away behind trees and trails. Halton Castle offers a lovely viewpoint and a bit of history without too much fuss. The Brindley Theatre is a proper community hub with a solid calendar of live music, comedy and drama. For those keen on the outdoors, Runcorn Hill and Heath Park offers walking paths and great views across the Mersey. Not far off you'll find National Trust gems like Speke Hall—a Tudor mansion nestled by the riverside—and Dunham Massey a little further afield, with deer roaming its gardens and woodland.

When you want to venture further across Cheshire, you're never short of options. The Roman city of Chester is a straight shot down the road, with its city walls, amphitheatre and the famous Rows. Delamere Forest is perfect for fresh air and a bit of a leg stretch, and Tatton Park delivers the full stately home experience with playgrounds and picnic spots for the whole family. Northwich has its salt heritage and the impressive Anderton Boat Lift, and the Cheshire Oaks shopping outlet near Ellesmere Port ticks the retail therapy box nicely. Rural villages, rolling farmland and peaceful trails round out the quieter side of Cheshire living.

Getting in and out of Runcorn is easy as anything. The town has its own mainline station—Runcorn—on the West Coast Main Line, offering fast connections to London, Liverpool and Birmingham. Runcorn East station serves local routes too. The Mersey Gateway and Silver Jubilee bridges mean you're well connected by road, linking up with the M56 and beyond. Liverpool John Lennon Airport is only about 20 minutes away, with Manchester Airport just a bit further depending on traffic. Local buses and cycle routes keep you moving within town, and the waterfront location gives it all a bit of breathing space.

Cheshire, as a county, manages to balance old-world charm with modern living. From market towns to moorland, its diversity is one of its biggest strengths. You've got upmarket enclaves like Wilmslow and Alderley Edge, farming communities dotted around the plains, and places like Runcorn that speak to the county's industrial legacy. The countryside's never far off, but neither are the cities, and that's part of the draw. Whether you're after a family day out, a decent Sunday roast, or a quiet walk along a canal, Cheshire tends to deliver without too much fuss.
