About

Little Neston ward lies along the southern bank of the River Dee estuary, characterised by its flat, open marshland and creeks. The area includes the village of Little Neston itself, with residential streets extending inland from the historic quay. The landscape is dominated by views across the estuary to the Welsh hills, with large areas of the Wirral Way footpath and the protected marshes of the Dee Estuary nature reserve shaping the local environment.

A specific network of sandstone caves, known as the Ness Botanic Gardens Quarry, is found within the ward. The local economy has historical ties to the former Ness Colliery, which exploited underground coal seams. Daily life is connected to the tidal rhythms of the river, with the area primarily functioning as a residential settlement with local shops and services centred on the village.
