Northwich is a mid-Cheshire town built on its salt mining heritage, with a distinctive town centre featuring Britain's only floating towpath and buildings historically affected by subsidence. Major investment through the Barons Quay retail and leisure development has revitalised the riverside area, and the town benefits from proximity to the major Lostock chemical complex.
