Our visitors arrived yesterday, so we had to try out the local, The Stanley Arms, where we had a very nice meal. Waited for our time slot the next morning, anticipating our first time trip on the boat lift. We were not disappointed as it was really amazing. The River Weaver is stunning, today we turned right towards Frodsham, passing through Saltersford lock and Dutton lock and found perfect moorings at Devils Garden.
The Anderton Boat lift, a great feat of engineering
