Chowley is a very small, predominantly rural civil parish in Cheshire West and Chester, sitting close to the village of Malpas and the border with Shropshire. The landscape is characterised by rolling fields, hedgerows and narrow country lanes, and the local economy is largely agricultural with a mix of arable and livestock farms and a handful of traditional farmsteads and converted buildings.
Historically the area reflects long-standing rural settlement patterns, and today residents tend to look to nearby centres such as Malpas and Chester for shops, schools and community activities; social life is quiet and closely tied to neighbouring villages, country pursuits and local events rather than a centre of its own.
