Latest Reviews
The museum has normal parking and not the disabled parking bays. The Museum gives the visitor a wonderful walk through a 350 year time-line of active service by the men who have served in the Cheshire Regiment. The huge range of information and memorabilia is spread extensively through many rooms with modern and interactive displays, exhibits and presentations. The museum has disabled access to all rooms, a souvenir shop and being an indoor venue is an ideal place to visit in rainy weather. The gentleman on the desk was very helpful and polite, and were pleased that it was all accessible for wheelchairs.
