Living in the North West
introduction
Whilst the North West is one of the most vibrant and dynamic parts of the UK, we need to remember what exists beyond the fashionable cities of Manchester and Liverpool. Stretching from Carlisle in the North to Stafford in the South, you’ll find a wide variety of things to see, do and experience. Whether it’s shopping, eating out, cultural pursuits or bar hopping that take your interest, its all here. Award winning museums, galleries and theatres, complement eye-catching architecture, innovative cultural events and a great nightlife.
Of if you prefer to go back to nature, the North West offers some of the best recreational facilities in Britain. From the Lake District and the Pennines to the pretty Cheshire countryside you can walk, hike, run, climb, cycles on and off road, windsurf, picnic, paraglide, the list is endless. And the scenery is stunning whatever you choose to do.
Lets not forget one of the North West’s biggest exports Manchester United. With the reds (United) and the Blues (Manchester City), Liverpool and Everton all fighting for the top spot in the premiership; it’s a football fans paradise. For those less partial to the game, there’s Aintree and the Grand National, or if you prefer to take part, there’s a host of brand new sporting facilities, a legacy from the successful Commonwealth Games, not forgetting a brand new dry ski slope in the Trafford area.
And for your kids there is as much to see and do as there is for adults, with The Blue Planet Aquarium, Jodrell Bank, Chester Zoo, Knowsley Safari Park and Blackpool Pleasure Beach all in the region. Most restaurants, museums and sporting facilities also cater for children, making sure the region is a great place for all ages.
Getting here is easy thanks to excellent transport links. Of course, we have a few traffic jams too, but the road network is generally very good. If you want to fly there’s a choice of Liverpool and Manchester airports.
Combine all this with an excellent variety of places to live, a good choice of schools and universities the North West is the ideal place to work and live.
