About

Sandstone ward covers the rural villages of Delamere, Oakmere, and Cuddington, situated on the Cheshire Plain. The landscape is characterised by its namesake sandstone ridges and areas of ancient woodland, including parts of Delamere Forest. The area is primarily agricultural, with a mix of arable farmland and pasture. The ward is bisected by the A556 road, connecting it to nearby urban centres.

A key feature is the historic Delamere Railway Station, serving the Cheshire Lines route between Chester and Manchester. The ward contains several meres, such as Oakmere, which are natural glacial lakes. The Sandstone Trail long-distance footpath passes through the area, following the sandstone ridge. Community life is focused around the individual village halls and local primary schools in this dispersed settlement pattern.
