Sutton Weaver Swing Bridge to National Waterways Museum, Ellesmere Port via Runcorn Bridges -  includes coach transfer to the Danny at Sutton Weaver (park at Ellesmere Port)

The journey will take approximately 3.5 hours as you travel in steam powered, Art-Deco splendour from our berth at Sutton Weaver to Marsh Lock and out into the Manchester Ship Canal to the Danny’s old home at Old Quay in Runcorn and Weston Point Docks, where all the Manchester Ship Canals tugs used to berth as it was their maintenance depot.  We will pass under the viaduct and through the Jubilee Road Bridge (known locally as the ‘Bird Cage’ due to the number of starlings nesting there)!  We will then turn and make our way back down the Manchester Ship Canal to The National Waterways Museum at Ellesmere Port.
