The rural civil parish of Ashton Hayes and Horton-cum-Peel sits within Cheshire West and Chester on the open soils of the Cheshire Plain. It centres on the compact village of Ashton Hayes and the tiny hamlet of Horton-cum-Peel, with a patchwork of farmland, hedgerows and small woodlands and a number of traditional farmhouses and lanes that reflect a long agricultural history.
The area is notable for a strong community spirit: Ashton Hayes gained national attention with a pioneering, village-led carbon reduction initiative started in the mid-2000s. Local life revolves around the church, village hall and small businesses rather than large industry, making it a quiet, picturesque spot popular with walkers and those seeking a rural base within easy reach of larger Cheshire towns.
