Lunts Heath Rise is just two miles from the M62, bringing Liverpool within 25 minutes’ drive. Manchester can be reached in around half an hour, and bus services to Liverpool, Warrington and Burtonwood, as well as Widnes town centre, stop beside the development. Trains from Widnes Station, less than 20 minutes’ walk away, reach Liverpool Lime Street in 24 minutes, and there are also direct services to Warrington, Manchester, Peterborough and Norwich.
There is an Aldi supermarket around 600 yards away, and within half a mile via a footpath, there is a well-stocked convenience store and off-licence, and a newsagent. A pharmacy and another convenience store and post office can be found a little further on. The family friendly Church View Inn, one of several traditional pubs in the area, sits a few yards from the development. Two miles away, the partially pedestrianised town centre features high street chain stores, local traders, supermarkets, cafés and restaurants. Indoor and outdoor markets are held five days a week, and the Green Oaks covered mall complements a Shopping Park with larger stores.
In addition to the celebrated Widnes Vikings rugby league club, the town’s football, cricket and rugby union clubs, a tennis academy and a golf course are all situated near the town centre. The Kingsway Leisure Centre provides comprehensive gym facilities and two swimming pools. A little to the south of the main shopping area, the Hive Leisure Park hosts a five screen multiplex, bowling alley, ice rink, play area, restaurants and pubs. The Queens Hall Studio is a live music and drama venue that hosts both community and touring shows.
