Property, Houses and Flats for Sale in Winsford, Cheshire

Winsford lies four miles south of Northwich on the River Weaver and grew around the salt mining industry. It has a population of 34,000 and the UK’s only rock salt mine, sinking to a depth of more than 150 metres. Salt mining created Winford’s most prominent geographical feature called the Flashes, an old English word for lakes that were formed when the river flooded into vast underground caverns that had caved in where salt had been pumped out from under the rock surface. Top Flash is popular for fishing and Bottom Flash is great for sailing, fishing, and walking.
