Lymm is a large village and civil parish in the borough of Warrington, in historic Cheshire in north‑west England. It sits in a shallow valley on the River Bollin and is especially noted for the ornamental Lymm Dam and the tree‑lined stretch of the Bridgewater Canal, which together form a popular local country‑park and conservation area close to the village centre.
Historically shaped by mills and the canal, Lymm now functions largely as a prosperous commuter settlement for nearby Manchester and Liverpool, while retaining a compact centre of pubs, independent shops and active community clubs. The village has a strong sense of local identity, several listed buildings and regular local events and sports clubs that reflect its mix of rural charm and suburban connections.
