School Visits Cheshire

inspiration and ideas



Where to visit on a school trip in Cheshire?

Even if your school has been visiting the same place in Cheshire year after year, it is always worth checking that you are not missing out on places that were not available for visits in the past, or who have spent considerable sums to increase the quality of their offering since the last time you viewed them.

Throughout Cheshire you will find a large and varied range of outdoor learning options suitable for school trips. These activities are suitable from Early Years through Key Stages 1, 2, 3 and 4, Further and Higher Education. No matter where your pupils are in their journey through the curriculum, Cheshire is a county bursting with fantastic opportunities to tie in with your Learning Objectives.

To give you a good place to start, we have selected a few of our favourite trips which highlight local history and the environment, plus an internationally famous and cutting edge scientific establishment that is completely open to the general public.

The county of Cheshire is part of the North West of England. Bounded by Chester to the west, Macclesfield to the east, Warrington the north and Crewe towards the south, the area covers almost a thousand square miles.

Want to know where to take your school trip in Cheshire? Here are some fun educational trips: BeWilderwood Cheshire forest adventure park for Early Years to KS2. For outdoor adventure visit Peak - Astbury Watersports Centre and try your hand at sailing, raft building and water activities at Astbury Mere. YHA Chester Trafford Hall is a great residential base for team building, set in a magnificent Victorian mansion with acres of gardens and woodland. Bring history to life at The Iron Age Experience, a reconstructed round house where students can enjoy an immersive prehistoric experience, learning ancient skills and crafts. Beeston Castle and Woodland Park is perched upon a craggy hill with amazing views and lots of nature trails and wildlife to explore. These are just a few of the many incredible venues for school visits in Cheshire.
