Situated in the far south‑west of the Cheshire unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester in England, Malpas is a compact, historic village close to the border with Shropshire. It sits amid rolling agricultural countryside and has a handsome cluster of timber‑framed and sandstone buildings around a village square and winding lanes that make it popular with walkers and riders.
The village has a medieval nucleus centred on St Oswald's Church and retains a strong community life - independent shops, pubs, a primary school and annual events - while many residents commute to nearby towns and cities such as Chester and Wrexham. Historically shaped by farming and coaching routes, today its economy mixes agriculture, small businesses and tourism drawn by the Cheshire countryside and local heritage.
