Lymm Village provides a wealth of delightful shops, traditional pubs and inviting cafés, offering opportunities for leisurely strolls and browsing.

As each day ends, return to your serene retreat at The Granary to reminisce, unwind and make plans for the days yet to come.

Lymm, voted as one of Britain’s ‘Most Desirable Towns’ in 2023, and named after ‘a place of running water', is a historic gem nestled between Altrincham and Warrington. The village is celebrated for the picturesque Bridgewater Canal and the Grade I listed Lymm Cross, a historic landmark that intriguingly features a 240-million-year-old dinosaur footprint. The area offers an abundance of attractions, including endless scenic walking trails. One notable path follows the stream through Slutten Gorge, leading to the site of Lymm’s 18th-century slitting mill, offering visitors a charming journey through the village's rich heritage and natural beauty. Reward yourself with a refreshing pint or two at Lymm’s micro-brewery, or choose from the array of hearty pubs in the area. Stock up on essentials at the local convenience stores if opting for some home cooking, or for special occasions, why not head to Eighteen The Cross for classic British fare? Within easy reach of the village is the bustling town of Warrington, where you can find further attractions and amenities such as shopping centres, cinemas, and a variety of cultural and leisure activities.
