Frodsham is a small market town and electoral ward in Cheshire West and Chester, England, sitting beside the tidal stretch of the River Weaver close to the River Mersey estuary. The town nestles under the sandstone ridge of Helsby Hill, which gives walkers dramatic views across the estuary towards Chester, Liverpool and, on clear days, the mountains of Snowdonia and the Lake District.
Historically a medieval market and river-side trading place with a Norman motte and an old parish church at its heart, Frodsham now combines independent shops, pubs and small businesses with a commuter population using good rail and road links to nearby cities. The community is lively, with local festivals, walking groups and conservation efforts around the surrounding heathland and river habitats that reflect both its heritage and attractive rural-urban mix.
