Allostock is a small, largely rural civil parish in Cheshire West and Chester, lying a few miles west of Knutsford on the gently rolling Cheshire Plain. The landscape is a mix of pasture, hedgerows and pockets of woodland, and the parish benefits from proximity to attractions such as Tatton Park and Delamere Forest, while still offering reasonable commuting links into Manchester.
The village has a strongly historic feel, with a medieval church, St Oswald's Church, and a number of traditional stone cottages and farmhouses. The local economy remains rooted in agriculture and equestrian activity, supplemented by small businesses and a commuter population; socially there’s an active community life centred on village events, the parish council and the village hall.
