High Legh is a small village and civil parish in Cheshire East, England, sitting close to Knutsford on the gentle Cheshire plain. It keeps a distinctly rural feel with surrounding farmland, hedgerows and lanes, yet lies within easy commuting distance of Manchester, Chester and Liverpool, with good road links to the wider region.
Historically the village grew around the local estate of High Legh Hall, and parts of the former parkland now host a well‑used golf course; the settlement is centred on its church, village hall and sports clubs. In recent decades modest housing growth has produced a mixed agricultural and commuter community that retains a lively village social scene and a quietly prosperous Cheshire character.
