Lymm Slitting Mill
Restored remains of a "slitting mill", used to produce narrow strips of metal, used in (e.g.) nailmaking. Opened by 1751, it was abandoned by 1825 and excavated by industrial archaeologists in the 1970s and again in 2005. Described as "the best surviving example of a slitting mill in the country".

Slitten Gorge
Unexpectedly impressive sandstone gorge near Lymm town centre. Probably created by glacial meltwater (as with other similar gorges in the area, such as Image).

Altrincham - Warrington railway track at Lymmhay Lane crossing
Opened in 1851 but disused since 1985. Now popular with cyclists as part of the Trans Pennine Trail, it once carried not only passengers but latterly coal to Fidlers Ferry power station - a fact that originally saved it from Dr Beeching's axe in 1963.
