Dodleston is a small, principally rural village and civil parish in Cheshire West and Chester, England, lying a few miles south‑west of Chester and close to the border with Wales. Set in gently rolling Cheshire countryside, the parish is characterised by farmland, hedgerows and winding lanes with a network of public footpaths that make it popular with walkers and riders.
The village has a compact historic core with several older cottages and a parish church, alongside a village hall and local amenities that help sustain a close community life; historically agricultural, many residents now commute into Chester or nearby towns while still valuing the parish’s quieter, conservation‑minded character and regular community events. Proximity to larger estates and country houses nearby adds to the area's historic flavour and opportunities for outdoor recreation.
