What makes the North West unique?<\/span><\/h2>
<\/div>[vc_column_text]A region of stark contrasts and striking landscapes, the North West is the scene of economic growth and urban renaissance to rival any in Europe. From the outstanding natural beauty of the Lake District, England\u2019s premier National Park, to the bustling, modern contemporary European City Region conurbations of Manchester and Liverpool, European Capital of Culture in 2008; from its extensive coastline and popular resorts like Blackpool and Southport, to great historic towns and cities such as Carlisle, Lancaster and Chester; with World Heritage Sites as wide ranging as Liverpool City Centre and Hadrian\u2019s Wall, and superb landscapes including many Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the region is distinctive and diverse.<\/p>\n

It is this diversity, along with its sheer scale, that is the North West\u2019s defining characteristic. It is home to 6.8 million people – that\u2019s more than several European countries \u2013 and is the largest English region outside London and the South East.[\/vc_column_text]
