Located to the east of Warrington town centre and on the northern bank of the Manchester Ship Canal, Edgewater Park has been designed by award winning architects and landscape architects to not only reflect the existing architectural character of the area,

A historic town....

You don't have to look too far for evidence of Warrington's colourful and vibrant history. As a major crossing point on the Mersey, there has been a settlement in Warrington since before Roman times.

Its importance grew with the building of the first bridge across the river in the middle ages. Its riverside location, proximity to Liverpool and Manchester and the construction of the Manchester Ship Canal saw Warrington expand during the industrial revolution.

Happily for Warrington, as heavy industry declined in the 1970s, its 'new town' status saw an expansion in light engineering, technology and distribution-based businesses.

With a vibrant present and future....

Warrington is now one of the most vibrant and energetic development areas in Europe, with massive investments going into such projects as the redevelopment of Burtonwood, the former US Air Force base and the Wire Works project.

Roman settlement, Civil War conflict, Victorian expansion: Warrington's history is certainly as varied as it is vibrant.

Yet for all its history, Warrington is no living museum - far from it. It is an ever-changing, developing community that, while aware of its past, is definitely looking to the future. So alongside reminders of the past, such as the imposing grandeur of the Town Hall with its famous Golden Gates, there is one of the North West's larger town centre shopping areas and the excellent Parr Hall concert hall and the Pyramid Arts Centre.

On its outskirts can be found excellent 'out of town' facilities such as Gemini Park, where IKEA chose to build their first outlet in the UK and also the largest Marks & Spencer store outside of London, and, in contrast, some excellent parks including Birchwood Forest Park, Sankey Valley Park, and Walton Lee Hall.

And besides the many attractions of Warrington and the surrounding area, with excellent motorway and rail connections, Liverpool, Manchester, London and North Wales are all within easy reach.

With its unique character and air of optimism, living in Warrington gives a definite feeling of belonging.
