Wolverham

Wolverham ward is situated in the rural west of the Cheshire West and Chester unitary authority. The area is primarily agricultural, characterised by flat, open farmland and dispersed settlements. The ward includes the villages of Wolverham and Alvanley, along with several smaller hamlets and isolated farms. Its landscape is typical of the Cheshire Plain, with a network of narrow lanes connecting the communities.

The area is defined by the presence of the Shropshire Union Canal, which runs along its eastern boundary. This historic waterway contributes to the local character and provides a route for leisure activities. Wolverham itself is a small, linear village centred around its parish church. The local economy remains closely tied to the land, with a quiet, settled atmosphere prevailing across the ward's farmland and villages.
