Broxton is a small civil parish in Cheshire West and Chester, England, set in rolling agricultural countryside a short drive south‑east of Chester. The area is characteristically rural, with farms, small woodlands and sandstone buildings that reflect traditional Cheshire vernacular rather than a concentrated urban centre.
Locally notable features include the parkland of the nearby Bolesworth Estate, which lends an equestrian and country‑sport feel through occasional shows and events, and the remnant wetland of Broxton Moss, valued for its wildlife and tranquillity. The parish economy is predominantly agricultural, with some tourism and commuting to larger towns, and community life tends to revolve around village institutions and the seasonal rhythms of the countryside.
