New to Middlewich: canals, cafes and days out
Moving somewhere new is always easier when the place welcomes you in, and Middlewich does exactly that. This historic Cheshire market town, where three canals and three rivers meet, has a proper community feel, water on nearly every side and plenty to fill a weekend. Little wonder new build homes in Middlewich are in such demand, and with our Warmingham Park development there's a rare chance to make it home. Here's your guide to settling in.
Life on the water in Middlewich
Middlewich grew up around its canals, and they're still the heart of it. Three waterways meet here: the Trent & Mersey, the Middlewich Branch of the Shropshire Union, and the little Wardle Canal, which at 154 feet is the shortest in the country. The towpaths make for easy, flat walks and gentle family cycling, and you're never far from a passing narrowboat or a canalside pub. For a proper day on the water, Andersen Boats has run trips and hires from the town for more than forty years. Water on the doorstep like this is a big part of what makes new homes in Middlewich so sought after.
A Middlewich market day
The "wich" in Middlewich points to its past as a salt town, the middle of three alongside Northwich and Nantwich. That heritage is everywhere, from the Roman roots of St Michael's Church to the Bull Ring at the heart of town. The weekly Thursday market is still the place for local cheeses, bakes and fresh produce, and a lovely way to feel part of things. It's exactly this character that has new builds in Middlewich finding buyers quickly.
Days out across Cheshire
When you fancy going further, the "Cathedral of the Canals" is close by: the magnificent Victorian Anderton Boat Lift, which raises boats fifty feet between the canal and the River Weaver. Come June, the town fills with music for the Middlewich Folk and Boat Festival, when thousands of visitors and hundreds of boats line the wharfs. And for quieter days, the trails along the River Dane show off the Cheshire countryside at its best, a real draw for new build homes in Cheshire this well placed.
