Discover Halton: A Borough on the Move
Spanning both sides of the River Mersey, Halton is a vibrant borough that serves as a vital bridge between Liverpool and Cheshire. In 2026, Halton takes centre stage as the Liverpool City Region Borough of Culture, launching a year-long celebration titled “Culture 26” that highlights the area’s rich creativity, from the iconic Silver Jubilee Bridge to the scientific innovation at Sci-Tech Daresbury. Residents here enjoy a unique blend of industrial heritage and scenic waterfront living, with easy access to the sprawling Norton Priory Museum & Gardens and the dramatic views from Runcorn Hill Park.
Living in Halton: Runcorn & Widnes
The borough is anchored by two distinct towns, each offering a wealth of opportunities for families and commuters:
- Widnes: Frequently cited as one of the North West’s best-kept secrets for value, Widnes offers a “Golden Triangle” location between Liverpool, Manchester, and Chester. Popular suburbs like Farnworth retain a charming village feel with top-rated schools and period properties, while areas near Victoria Park are highly sought after for their green spaces and traditional Victorian terraces. With the M62 and the Mersey Gateway Bridge on your doorstep, it is a premier choice for hybrid workers.
- Runcorn: Divided into the historic Old Town and the modern New Town, Runcorn is undergoing a massive transformation through the “Reconnecting Runcorn” initiative. By 2026, the newly enhanced Brindley Theatre and the Health and Education Hub are revitalizing the town centre. For those seeking modern living, Sandymoor offers high-spec new builds, while Halton Village provides a quaint, historic setting under the shadow of the ancient castle.
With the Merseyrail and national rail networks providing 20-minute links to Liverpool Lime Street and 40-minute journeys to Manchester, Halton offers city-level connectivity with Cheshire house prices.
