The guide
Where exactly
From Warrington Town Centre - keep following the A57 (Manchester Road) which eventually turns into Cadishead Way/Liverpool road. Go past the 2 railway bridges and look out for a largish roundabout signed "Irlam Locks" (right)From Manchester/Urmston side: Keep following Irlam Road and you will eventually hit the car park area.
When to go
Seems to be mostly busy during the mid-late evening during the week.
Etiquette
Only just discovered this place but there is plenty of wooded area next to the car park on the Manchester side! Also some of the lock buildings look derelict so perhaps there is a way in.
Nudity: Just be sensible and discreet! =)
Safety
