Chelford is a small village and civil parish in Cheshire East, England, set on the flat agricultural sweep of the Cheshire Plain. It sits amid farmland and hedgerows, with larger market towns such as Knutsford and Macclesfield and the city of Manchester within easy reach, which gives the village a quietly rural yet well-connected feel.
Historically the community grew from farming and a long‑standing livestock market that helped shape its local economy and social life, and you’ll still find traditional stone and brick buildings, a parish church and a strong village community with events centred on the hall and local clubs. Today Chelford combines that agricultural heritage with a commuter presence, making it a mix of historic character and modern residential life.
