DRAGONSITE (UK)

COLLECTOR EVENT

VENUE

Northwich, whilst not the most central town in the UK, is easily accessible from the M6 (junction 18 or 19), or via the A556 if coming from the west.  The town itself has been a salt mining community for donkey's years - it even boasts a salt museum to prove it - and is home to the branch of Astra Zeneca (known to most as ICI) which invented polythene.

Also nearby is The Anderton Boat Lift, the first of it's kind in the world.

The Floatel is unique in that it is the only hotel in the UK that actually floats on a river, and goes up and down with the water level. For more information regarding The Floatel, including a map of the area, and directions to get there, and other things to see and do, check out the hotel website:

For anybody thinking of spending the weekend in Northwich, The Floatel is conveniently situated pretty much in the town centre, close to the town cinema (unfortunately now closed).  There are also two Travel Inn's in close proximity: The Woodpecker on the east side of town, and the Blue Cap on the West side on the bypass. Check the Premier Travel Inn website for more information.

Naturally there are any number of B & B's in the immediate vicinity as well. The British Tourist Board can provide more information.
