North West of England

Regional School Trips

Industrial heritage and the great outdoors

Generally regarded as the area extending from Cheshire up through Manchester and Merseyside, through Lancashire and into Cumbria, the North West of England is historically important, geographically favoured, scientifically pioneering, artisitcally blessed, and technologically pioneering. Yes I am biased.

For North West school trips and visits you really are spoiled for choice. From Manchester's Sealife centre, to Liverpool's Georgian and Victorian World Heritage sites. Throw in a hatful of Roman sites stretching all the way to Hadrian's Wall, plus numerous science, technology and environmental venues. Not forgetting museums offering insights into both ancient and more modern history, including the North West's miraculous industrial past, including the historic Quarry Bank Mill.

The region has a good choice of residential outdoor pursuits centres if you are looking for a fun-filled activity week later in the school year. Whatever your interest in the North West, rest assured we have hand-picked only the best quality venues, who offer everything you will need to make your North West school trip run smoothly.
