North Cheshire in October 2026 Federation Holiday

We stayed at the Mercure Haydock Hotel  for our four day holiday in North Cheshire. During our stay, we visited the NT Quarry Bank Mill, The Hat works at Stockport, the RHS Garden Bridgewater, Chester plus a boat trip on the River Dee and finally Port Sunlight.

Here we are at the start of our holiday!

Fabulous day out here in Cheshire! This morning, we went to the excellent Hat Museum in Stockport and of course we had to try a few hats on!
