The village where you need to ask permission to paint your front door

A sense of Victorian civility is preserved amongst Port Sunlight's tree-lined boulevards, sweeping rows of cottages and 130 acres of park.

For anyone experiencing the picture-perfect setting for the first time, you might be inclined to believe the village, and its inhabitants, are trapped in time. But like all places the ebb and flow of life invariably moves along.

The village's attraction is its picturesque setting and for many people, Port Sunlight offers something that has seemingly been lost to time. Not just aesthetically but also the idea of community, a place of tradition and legacy with perfectly manicured lawns.
