Eaton and Eccleston is a small, largely rural parish in Cheshire West and Chester, close to Chester in England. The landscape is marked by estate parkland, woodlands and farmland, with the impressive grounds of Eaton Hall and its associated buildings shaping much of the local character; there are also a number of listed houses and a village church that give the area a distinctive historic feel.
Historically tied to the Grosvenor family and their estate management, the parish combines an agricultural economy with a commuter presence for nearby Chester, while also attracting interest from visitors to the hall and surrounding countryside. Socially it retains a village atmosphere - small communities, local events and estate activities - rather than the busier urban life of the city just beyond its borders.
