About

Little Neston is a village on the Wirral Peninsula in the Cheshire West and Chester unitary authority, forming part of the civil parish of Neston. The settlement clusters along short lanes and older field boundaries that remain visible in the street pattern. Local facilities include a primary school, a village hall used for community groups and events, a church and a small parade of shops and services that serve day-to-day needs. The village sits above the adjoining low-lying ground, and lanes fall away from the core toward the marshes and shoreline nearby, preserving a clear change in ground level within a short distance.

Transport links are focused on local roads and regular bus services that connect Little Neston with neighbouring centres; the town station at Neston lies within easy reach for rail journeys. Community life includes amateur sports on the village playing fields, allotments and seasonal activities run from the hall. Footpaths and minor roads provide direct, short routes for walkers and cyclists within the parish, making local journeys and access to nearby open spaces straightforward.
