Dunham-on-the-Hill is a small village in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester, England, set on the flat, fertile Cheshire Plain. It has a quiet rural feel, surrounded by farmland, lanes and hedgerows, with easy road links to nearby towns and the motorway network that make larger centres like Chester and Ellesmere Port readily accessible.
Historically an agricultural settlement, the village retains a parish church, village hall and a local sense of community; traces of Victorian transport links remain in the landscape where a former station once stood. Today many residents commute to work in the surrounding towns while enjoying country walks, local pubs and the small‑scale village life that characterises much of rural Cheshire.
