Walgherton is a small, rural civil parish in Cheshire East, England, lying a few miles south‑east of Nantwich and to the east of the railway town of Crewe. The landscape is typical of Cheshire countryside: gently rolling farmland, hedgerows and small copses, with scattered farmsteads and a handful of houses rather than a defined village centre. Agriculture - mixed arable and livestock farming - remains the dominant land use, while some residents commute to nearby towns for work and services.
Historically the area grew up around manorial farms and contains several older farmhouses and buildings that reflect the county’s brick and timber traditions. Social life is closely tied to neighbouring villages and market towns for schools, shops and events, but the parish keeps a quiet, community‑oriented feel that appeals to walkers and those wanting a rural base within easy reach of regional transport links.
