The village of Goostrey in the civil parish and unitary authority of Cheshire East, England sits on the low-lying Cheshire Plain, surrounded by farmland and hedgerows. It lies within easy commuting distance of Manchester and Crewe and is notable for its proximity to Jodrell Bank Observatory, where the iconic Lovell Telescope - now part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site - dominates the skyline.
The village has a long history with a medieval parish church, St Luke's Church, a small centre of shops, pubs and community facilities and an active calendar of clubs and fêtes. Local life combines a commuter population with agricultural roots; the community is served by Goostrey railway station on the Crewe–Manchester line, giving it quiet connectivity while retaining a distinctly rural Cheshire character.
