Movin’... with the times

12 July–August 2009 | Issue 3

Lymm Dam’s natural beauty and tranquillity attracts cyclists, dog-walkers, fami-lies and anglers all year round. Its woodlands and meadows are also teeming with wildlife and the site’s history gives it a unique character; the sandstone around the Dam was created around 250 million years ago, while the Dam itself was constructed in 1824. In its day, the area around the dam was part of Lymm Hall Estate, which owned much of the village. Now, the site attracts visitors from all over the North West, and is the location for many special events and nature trails; to the right, we’ve selected just a few of the events on offer this summer.

Aside from being housed within a magnificent building, Lymm High School is one of our town’s best assets. The school was judged to be ‘out-standing’ in a recent Ofsted inspection, with con-sistently excellent GCSE and A level results. With a history stretching back to the late 16th century, it’s unsurprising that many generations of War-rington residents can be proud to say that they have been taught at the school (including two of our very own Movin’ team!). In fact, the school is once again attracting previous generations back through their doors with their adult classes.
