Croughton is a small rural settlement in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester in north‑west England, set on the open fields of the Cheshire Plain. The locality is characterised by farmland, hedgerows and a compact group of traditional cottages and farm buildings, with relatively easy road access to the county city of Chester and nearby market towns.
Its history is largely agricultural, visible in the pattern of lanes and older farmsteads, and the modern economy mixes working farms with residents who commute for work. Community life tends to centre on the parish church or village hall and occasional local events, giving it the quiet, close‑knit feel typical of rural Cheshire settlements.
