Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
As we live in the middle of England you can easily go North and South to visit beautiful places with lots to see and do. We are approx 12 miles away from Liverpool - take the ferry across the Mersey for stunning views of Liverpool, this is my daily commute to work! Historic Chester is a 30 minute drive and Manchester is approx 1 hour away. Beautiful Wales is on our doorstep, a half an hour drive will get you there. We regularly visit London as it is an easy 2 hour 15 minute train journey and Oxford which is a 3 hour drive.

We have a large, comfortable automatic car with sat nav to make your journeys comfortable and enjoyable.
