About

Gowy Rural ward encompasses a primarily agricultural landscape in the western part of the Cheshire West and Chester unitary authority. The area is characterised by flat, open farmland interspersed with smaller settlements and pockets of woodland. The River Gowy flows through the ward, influencing the low-lying topography and drainage patterns. This is a sparsely populated administrative area where land use is dominated by pastoral farming and some arable operations.

The ward includes the communities of Bridge Trafford, Mickle Trafford, and Wimbolds Trafford, which serve as local residential hubs. A notable feature is the presence of the Manchester Ship Canal, which forms part of the ward's northern boundary, separating it from Halton. The M56 motorway also runs through the area, providing a major transport route. The landscape includes several meres and areas of historic parkland associated with former estate farms.
