Natural Northwest

Picture England’s Northwest and it may surprise you to learn that 80% of the region is green and pleasant land. Aside from the cosmopolitan cities of Liverpool and Manchester, England’s Northwest is home to a multitude of landscapes supporting a myriad of plants and animals. From the rolling Cheshire plain to wild and rugged Scafell Pike, and from rare red squirrels to swathes of swaying daffodils, this is one of the most naturally diverse regions of England.

Boasting England’s largest National Park, three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and over 1000 kilometres of magnificent coastline, there are plenty of opportunities to discover and explore this inspiring corner of England.  

As well as the world-famous Lake District with England’s highest peak and longest lake, here you’ll find the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, full of exceptional heather moorland, blanket bog and rare birds such as Hen Harriers. Martin Mere is the spot for spectacular bird migrations, Formby Point one of the last outposts of the rare red squirrel and the meres and mosses of Cheshire form part of an internationally important habitat unique to the Northwest.
