Loved it, sadly there is a large amount of hogg weed covering to path coming down from slutchers lane side but crossfields side is clear. The structure itself is in need of some restoration but it is well worth a visit.

It's a really pretty place but in the absolute middle of nowhere, yet the centre of town, it's a good 20-40 minute walk to the nearest car park thoroughly inaccessible but for those who can make it an absolutely beautiful place and I would recommend it as a walk for anyone!!

Tucked away on the banks of the river Mersey behind a soap and chemicals factory, the disused Warrington transporter bridge is so well hidden that not many people even know that it's there. It has been out of use since about 1964 and is in a poor state, yet it is one of only maybe a dozen such structures in the world. It is accessible from a footpath that can be a scramble in places. If you like to see industrial heritage in its raw state, this place is worth a visit; if you prefer attractions with a cafe and gift shop, this is probably not for you.

An amazing architectural gem that must be seen. Park on Eastford Road then cross the river by the steps and footpath that run alongside the first rail bridge. Then just follow the rough path along the river bank.

One of only five bridges of this type built in Britain, this is a wonderful thing to see. It could do with some restoration, and is quite hard to get close to.
