About

Greenbank lies on the southern edge of Chester, primarily consisting of residential streets and local amenities. The area is defined by its proximity to the Shropshire Union Canal, which runs along its western boundary, and the large expanse of Countess of Chester Country Park to the north. Housing is a mix of interwar semis and more modern developments, serving as a quiet residential district for the city.

A notable local landmark is the former Leadworks site, a reminder of the area's industrial past near the canal. The area is practical, with several schools, a large retail park offering supermarkets and stores, and good road links via the A41. The canal towpath provides a direct pedestrian and cycling route into Chester city centre.
