The idyllic village near Manchester with a dinosaur footprint at its heart

The footprint, and the village's unique link to the dinosaurs, is one of many features in what is one of Cheshire's most desirable locations

With pretty cobbled footpaths, canal walks and plenty of independent restaurants, cafes and shops, the village of Lymm has plenty of attractions for both residents and visitors alike. But this picturesque Cheshire spot can also lay claim to something rather unique in any village centre.

The description on the display reads: "On the sandstone slab is the raised fossil footprint of a Chirotherium Kaupii, an early type of dinosaur. The name means Hand Beast, so named after its footprint's remarkable resemblance to the hands of apes, bears and humans. "The installation of the frame and stone was funded by Lymm Jubilee WI as a gift to the village to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Institute's founding in 1965."

Georgina Solam, letting manager of Ridgeway Residential estate agents, described Lymm as 'the most desirable place to live in Warrington'. She said that it had become a really 'popular' location. As well as canal walks, visitors here love the circular walk around the picturesque Lymm Dam. Foodies can also grab some of the delicacies of a celebrity chef as a rich reward at the end of a walk around the Dam.

With such excellent transport links to both the M6 in Cheshire and M56 to Manchester, Lymm is one of the most desirable villages in the region.
