Lymm is located about 24 Km south west of Manchester, 8 Km from Warrington and 49 Km from Liverpool.

Although the word Lymm has Celtic origins, the first known settlement was in the 7th century. Lymm means a "place of running water" and probably stems from the fact that a stream runs through the village centre, the name is even more apt today because the Bridgewater Canal (built 1763) also passes through.

The Manchester Ship Canal (built 1884) runs within 4 Km of the village centre.

Lymm is twinned with Meung Sur Loire (10 Km west of Orleans) in central France. Go to Meung Sur Loire
