Peckforton is a small rural parish in Cheshire East, England, set on the sandstone ridge of the Peckforton Hills. The area is largely agricultural with scattered farms and mixed woodlands, offering wide views across the Cheshire Plain towards Chester and the Mersey Estuary.
Its most striking landmark is Peckforton Castle, a 19th‑century Gothic Revival country house built for John Tollemache that now operates as a hotel and events venue and helps draw walkers from the nearby Sandstone Trail. The community remains small and village-like, balancing farming, conservation and a modest tourism economy centred on walking, local history and rural life.
