About

Winsford Wharton is a primarily residential ward located in the northern part of the town of Winsford. The area is characterised by a mix of post-war housing estates and more modern developments, with local amenities concentrated along Weaverham Road and Winsford Cross Shopping Centre serving the community. The ward is bounded by the River Weaver to the east, with the Winsford Top Flash, a large inland water body, forming a significant part of its eastern boundary.

The landscape includes areas of open green space and playing fields, with the Wharton Recreation Ground providing a focal point for local leisure. Industrial and business parks, such as those along Woodford Park Way, are situated on the ward's western edges. The Winsford Flashes, a series of former salt-mining subsidences now important for wildlife, are a defining geographical feature of the wider locality.
