About

Bunbury ward is a rural area in the south of Cheshire East, centred around the large village of Bunbury. The landscape consists of low-lying agricultural fields and pastures, with scattered woodlands and the Shropshire Union Canal running through it. The ward includes several smaller settlements like Alpraham, Beeston, and Tiverton, which are connected by narrow country lanes. Farming remains a significant part of the local economy and character.

The area is dominated by the historic St. Boniface's Church, a prominent sandstone landmark with a distinctive spire visible across the flat terrain. The canal, with its locks and towpaths, provides a linear route for walking and boating. Much of the surrounding land is part of the larger Cheshire Plain, used for dairy and arable farming. The local community is served by primary schools, village halls, and pubs in the constituent settlements.
