Handley is a small, predominantly rural civil parish in Cheshire West and Chester on the edge of the Cheshire Plain, not far from the market town of Malpas and within easy reach of Chester and the Shropshire town of Whitchurch. The landscape is gently rolling farmland interspersed with hedgerows and small woodlands, giving it a quiet, open character typical of south-west Cheshire.
Locally the economy remains largely agricultural, supplemented by residents who commute to nearby towns; there is a modest but active community life centred on village events and local groups. Handley has a distinctly historic feel - place names and several farmhouses hint at medieval and post-medieval roots, and the parish’s rural lanes and footpaths make it popular with walkers seeking a quieter slice of the Cheshire countryside.
