Escape for the day to Port Sunlight, an amazing garden village with a fascinating history just waiting to be discovered.
Port Sunlight was founded in 1888 by William Hesketh Lever for his Sunlight Soap factory workers, providing a standard of living much higher than many other industrial settlements of the time. The village, located on the Wirral Peninsular nestling between Chester and Liverpool is simply breathtaking.
An ideal place to start your visit to this magnificent village is Port Sunlight Museum & Garden Village. The museum offers a unique insight into the way of life for the very first villagers and workers of Port Sunlight during late Victorian and Edwardian times.

Watch 'Sunlight Spirit', a film show set in 1914
Meet life size models of the visionary, William Hesketh Lever and the principal architect, James Lomax-Simpson
