About

Malpas ward is situated in the rural south-west of Cheshire West and Chester, bordering Shropshire and Wales. The landscape is defined by agricultural land, small woods, and gentle hills, with the village of Malpas serving as the central settlement. The area is primarily residential and farming-oriented, with a network of smaller hamlets and lanes spread across the countryside.

The settlement pattern is one of scattered farms and historic buildings, including the prominent St Oswald's Church on a hilltop in the village. The local economy is closely linked to the land, with a focus on dairy and arable farming. The ward's position near the Welsh Marches contributes to a distinct historical character evident in its older architecture and parish boundaries.
