A cosy pub can be found on its own island less than an hour away from Manchester. With incredible views overlooking the River Mersey, The Ferry Tavern is located on Station Road in Penketh, Warrington.
The pub sits on an island strip forged at Fiddlers Ferry when the Sankey Canal was opened in 1762, the first canal of the industrial age.
