Whitby & Stanney Woods

About

The Whitby & Stanney Woods area is a residential district situated on the eastern edge of Ellesmere Port. It is characterised by modern housing estates, primarily built from the late 20th century onwards, providing homes for a significant portion of the town's population. The layout includes local shopping parades, schools, and community facilities serving the neighbourhood's daily needs. The area is defined by its proximity to major transport routes, including the M53 motorway.

A defining characteristic is the presence of the actual Stanney Woods, a mature woodland area with public footpaths that offers a natural counterpoint to the surrounding housing. This green space is a local resource for recreation and wildlife. The area is functionally connected to Ellesmere Port's wider industrial and retail zones, including the Cheshire Oaks outlet complex. The residential streets are quiet, with a mix of detached and semi-detached properties.
