Ellesmere Port is a town in Cheshire, located in the northwest of England. It lies on the banks of the Manchester Ship Canal and is situated about 8 miles south of Chester and 10 miles north of the city of Liverpool. It has a rich industrial history, particularly in shipbuilding and manufacturing, and is part of the larger Merseyside metropolitan area.

Historically, Ellesmere Port grew as an important port for trade, connected to the wider industrial revolution and a key site for factories and trade routes. The town is perhaps best known today for the presence of the Vauxhall Motors plant, one of the UK's major car manufacturing facilities, although this is gradually being phased out as production has moved elsewhere.

​

In addition to its industrial side, Ellesmere Port is also known for the Ellesmere Port Boat Museum, which is located near the canal and showcases the town’s maritime heritage. The National Waterways Museum is also a popular attraction, telling the story of the industrial canals that helped shape the region.

Ellesmere Port has a mix of residential areas, shops, and green spaces. The nearby Ellesmere Port Country Park offers local wildlife, walking trails, and recreational areas, while the Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet is a large shopping centre on the outskirts of the town, drawing visitors from across the region.

The town has good transport links, including access to the M56 motorway and direct rail services to Chester, Liverpool, and Manchester. It is an area that combines its industrial legacy with modern amenities, making it an important part of the Cheshire and Merseyside region.
