Heritage and Cheshire
Cheshire has a long and varied history. Its location on the Welsh border and the Marches has added to its distinctiveness. It also has a number of recent industries that have left their own special mark on the County, of which salt and silk are prime examples. Its rural background holds the key to a wealth of traditions, crafts, music and dialect that give the area its own special character.
