The civil parish of Anderton with Marbury sits on the Cheshire Plain in Cheshire West and Chester, a short distance from Northwich. It includes the small settlements of Anderton and Marbury, set in the Weaver valley amid farmland, woodlands and meres formed in part by historic salt workings. The restored Anderton Boat Lift, and the nearby Trent and Mersey Canal and River Weaver, make the area a draw for walkers, cyclists and birdwatchers.
Historically the patchwork of fields and wetlands reflects Cheshire’s salt and agricultural past; today the parish is largely rural and residential with many people commuting to nearby towns. Marbury Country Park and local footpaths provide popular community space and seasonal wildlife interest, while canal and river heritage bring a steady trickle of visitors and a quiet tourism element to village life.
