Steeped in history, Ellesmere Port sits on the southeastern edge of the Wirral Peninsula, established on the River Mersey at the entrance to the Ellesmere Canal. With settlements dating back to the 11th century, this historic port town experienced exponential growth with the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1894 and the Stanlow Oil Refinery in the 1920s.

Its industrial past is vividly showcased within the town, with the Stanlow oil refinery, the Vauxhall Motors car factory, and the National Waterways Museum - a sanctuary preserving the legacy of Britain’s navigable waterways. This picturesque town also serves as an important hub, boasting excellent connections to Chester and Liverpool via its railway station and frequent bus services.

When to visit Ellesmere Port

Ellesmere Port is a town for all seasons, but for the perfect weather, plan your visit in late July when temperatures regularly hit a warm 21.4°C during the day and drop to a comfortable 11.8°C at night. Looking to avoid the rain? Head there in April, March, or September for the most reliable dry weather.

Though humidity is quite high throughout the year, with November being the most humid month, this coastal gem is filled with indoor attractions such as the Blue Planet Aquarium and Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet that can make even the dampest days enjoyable. The busiest months are January, June, and July, but don’t let that deter you - Ellesmere Port has something to offer every traveller, every day of the year.
