Wybunbury

Wybunbury is in a village in Cheshire.

Wybunbury (pronounced Winds-bury in local accent) is a village about four miles from the railway town of Crewe, so is a popular destination for people who want to be near the railway but still want a quiet "family holiday" or day away from the hustle and bustle of the urban area.

By rail, take the railway to Crewe, and book either a taxi or take the bus to Wybunbury.

By foot, bus or even by horse and cow.

Lots of dairy and beef farms in the area, so plenty of rural scenery.
