Crewe

 

WHY CREWE IS A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE

Crewe is well known for its place on the West Coast mainline, meaning it’s always been an attractive location to live for those commuting elsewhere for work. Manchester city centre can be reached in just over half an hour on the train, whilst the direct service into London Euston has a journey time of around an hour and a half. Liverpool can also be reached directly from Crewe in around an hour and a half. Whether you’re commuting for work or want to visit one of these fantastic cities for a day trip, Crewe is ideally placed. Manchester Airport is also about 40 minutes drive away.

But the town offers plenty more for residents which is why it has been named as the best place to live in the UK outside London. Its proximity to both North Wales and the Peak District ensure lovers of nature and the great outdoors are well catered for, whilst the schools are attractive for families with school age children. In fact, there are four schools in Crewe rated as “Outstanding” by Ofsted and a further 22 “Good” schools. The “Outstanding” schools in Crewe include Adelaide School and Springfield School for secondary education and Wistaston Academy and Monks Coppenhall Academy for primary.

Families living in Crewe will enjoy Queens Park, Crewe Heritage Centre and Lakemore Farm Park as well as football at Alexandra Stadium. Other attractions in the town also include Crewe Lyceum Theatre, Offbeat Brewery and Axis Arts Centre.
