Hightown, Mossley & Timbersbrook

Hightown, Mossley and Timbersbrook lie to the south of Congleton in Cheshire East and form a cluster of small settlements set in farmland and pasture. The area is shaped by narrow lanes, hedgerows and scattered woodlands, with farmsteads and cottages along minor roads. Timbersbrook in particular is arranged along a single through road that links local farms and provides the main street address for the village. Small brooks and drainage ditches cross fields and feed into the wider Dane catchment downstream.

Local life is focused on the village hall, the parish church and a handful of small enterprises that serve surrounding farms. Public footpaths and bridleways run through the fields, used by walkers and riders more than by traffic, and some lanes retain cast-iron milestones from the 19th century. The pattern of fields, hedgerows and lanes gives the place a settled, agricultural character while still being within easy reach of services in Congleton.
