- 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.
