Ellesmere Port sits on the southern edge of the Wirral Peninsula in Cheshire, England. Born from the late 18th‑century canal and ship canal trade, it grew into a major industrial and port town. Today it boasts a population of around 65,000, a Vauxhall car plant, Stanlow oil refinery, and chemical works, alongside leisure attractions like the National Waterways Museum, Blue Planet Aquarium, and Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet. Excellent road, rail, and canal links support both commuters and industry, while parks and new developments enhance its appeal as a place to live.
