Runcorn

The industrial inland port of Runcorn is a treasure trove of architectural styles, from medieval ruins to 1970s utopia. Its impressive bridges across the River Mersey mark the gateway north to cosmopolitan Liverpool and south to leafy Cheshire. Very much off the tourist trail, this town of 62,000 people (2021) nonetheless has some surprising hidden gems for curious urban explorers.
