Discover the history and stories that made this 'chocolate box' village, all because a Duke fell out of love.

So , you think that Worsley is just that 'Olde Worlde' pretty place that sits alongside that lovely orange canal do you ? Well it is but it is so much more.

What you see isn’t ancient but it is historic. What you can't see today is historic but not ancient.

Intrigued? 

So you should be but all will be explained if you join your Green Badge Tourist Guide for the Bridgewater Canal on the Worsley Wonder guided walk.

We will see bollards without boats and basins without taps and plugs in strange places. 

Find out more about a fabulous history of the Bridgewater Canal and Worsley Village that includes a Queen, a Duke, several Earls and even Maharajah who walked all the way from Edinburgh......

We will look at the buildings in the area and explore the hall that remains. This tour does not go into the Worsley New Hall site - the new RHS Garden but will go close by and I will explain the fascinating history of the site and its connection to the canal and village 

This is a fun factual tour suitable for 12yrs+

Please don't worry if you can't make this one. My colleagues do a tour every month so message for details or look on the Bridgewater Guided Tours Website
