Attractions in North West Cheshire Cumbria Lancashire NORTHWESTThe North West is known for its friendly people and for the industrial heritage which can be found in the region's numerous cotton and silk mills, restored factory buildings and museums. This is a region of many contrasts, from vibrant cities to historic market towns and peaceful villages; from the rugged hills of the Peak District to the rolling farmlands of Cheshire with its black and white manor houses and network of canals. Some of Britain's most popular beaches are in the North West including Blackpool, famous for its tower and illuminations. There are also many quieter resorts and fishing villages. The region's capital is Manchester, a dynamic city at the forefront of fashion, the arts, youth culture and theatre. Liverpool, the birthplace of the Beatles is the place to visit for further information on the famous pop group. Both of these cities have been restored to their former splendour, with new shops, bars, restaurants and exciting nightlife proving a popular attraction. The North West is rich in history. Chester is famous for its Roman Walls and for its half-timbered shops and houses while Lancaster is an attractive cathedral city with a Georgian quay and narrow streets.
