ALTHOUGH lockdown has been a stressful and daunting time, it has allowed people to truly explore their beautiful surroundings here in Warrington.

From the Mersey and the Woolston Weir, to Sankey Valley Park and the Transpennine Trail, many residents have used lockdown to fall back in love with their town.

We asked Warrington Guardian readers to send us their favourite photographs from their travels across the borough.
