Where to stay in Clifton
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Runcorn holds the beds. Clifton has one listed name and no hotel street, so a stay planned around St Mark means a Runcorn base and a short run out to the district itself. Halton Village is the other Runcorn district. Rooms concentrate in the town and across the Borough of Halton, leaving Clifton and its single listed name as somewhere to visit inside Cheshire rather than to sleep.

About Clifton
What are the main landmarks in Clifton?
One name, no more. St Mark is the single entry the register ties to Clifton, which leaves the district without a museum, a hall or a heritage house to send a visitor toward. Halton Village carries the town's longer list.
What Clifton has under its own name is St Mark; Runcorn and the wider Borough of Halton hold everything else.
What is the history of Clifton?
No one wrote down when Clifton started. Clifton reaches the register as one of the districts into which Runcorn divides, without an inception date, a founding charter or a written account to fix a beginning for it. Halton Village keeps the older story.
The dates that would explain Clifton belong to Runcorn and to the Borough of Halton that took the town in.
Where is Clifton?
Clifton is built ground on the Runcorn side of the Borough of Halton, sharing the town with Halton Village and carrying no recorded area of its own.
