About

Lion Salt Works

The Lion Salt Works is a restored historic open-pan salt-making site, in the village of Marston, close to Northwich.  Find out how salt was made in the UK's last remaining brine-boiling site though the unique buildings, objects and great audio-visual displays.

When exploring the site and its restored buildings, you will discover how the works operated until 1986, the impact of salt on mid-Cheshire’s people, transport, economy and landscape and its wider global connections.

Take a gentle stroll through the butterfly garden, enjoy the children’s play area and enjoy a treat in the Museum café.   The Lion Salt Works cafe is a great place to start and finish a walk or bike ride to explore the footpaths, waterways and attractions of the Northwich Woodlands, the Trent and Mersey Canal to the Anderton Boat Lift and Weaver Hall Museum and Workhouse.
