context_page_description: Birchwood is a town north east of Warrington, Cheshire, England with a population of 11,395. It is a separate town because the civil parish is called a town council. Historically part of Lancashire, it was built during the time of much expansion in Warrington as it became a "new town". Birchwood is separated into three residential estates: Gorse Covert, Oakwood and Locking Stumps, with all the main facilities grouped around the centre.
context_section_description: Birchwood is located close to the intersections between the M6 and M62 and the M6 and M56 and the railway station on the Liverpool--Manchester train line. There are frequent bus services (routes 17 and 25) to Warrington town centre, and to Culcheth and Leigh (routes 28 and 28A). Details of all these services can be found on the Warrington's Own Buses website.
