Cheshire Directory

The county of Cheshire is situated in the north-west region of England and has an overall population of almost a million people. Cheshire shares borders in England with Merseyside and Greater Manchester and the counties of Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Shropshire. To the west of Cheshire are the Welsh town of Wrexham and the county of Flintshire.

The largest town in the county is Warrington with a population of just over 80,000. The actual county town is historic Chester. Other main towns in Cheshire are Congleton, Crewe, Ellesmere Port, Macclesfield; Northwich, Wilmslow, Winsford, Runcorn, Widnes, Great Sankey and Stockton Heath.
 
Although there are some relatively large settlements in Cheshire, and neighbouring Liverpool and Manchester are sprawling metropolises, the county is mainly rural with small towns, villages and farms making their living through rural and agricultural industries such as dairy farming and silk weaving. Cheshire is particularly famous for its cheese production.

Cheshire is an historic county that has in its borders examples of Prehistoric burial grounds, Iron Age hill forts and Roman remains and fortresses. The town of Chester, the site of a Roman fortress, is surrounded by Roman walls and has wonderful two-tier buildings that still have their original wooden beams. Chester cathedral is also a great place to visit.

Cheshire is one of the most historic and beautiful counties in England. Its mixture of ancient history mixed with the trappings of modern-day living make it a diverse and interesting county to visit.
