About

Marbury ward sits in the northern part of Cheshire West and Chester, encompassing a primarily rural landscape of farmland and small settlements. The area includes the villages of Marbury, Wigland, and parts of Comberbach, centred around the agricultural character of the mid-Cheshire plain. The ward is bounded by Budworth Mere and neighbouring parishes, with its economy historically linked to the land.

A significant feature is the presence of Marbury Big Wood, a large, ancient woodland bordering the mere. This semi-natural woodland, with its network of public footpaths, forms a core part of the local natural environment. The area's quiet country lanes and scattered farms define its atmosphere, with community life focused on the small villages and their surrounding countryside.
