Malpas is a compact, historic village and electoral ward in Cheshire West and Chester, England, set amid rolling farmland close to the Wales border. It retains a medieval street pattern and a number of timber‑framed and sandstone buildings that give the centre a distinct rural character, while a parish church and traditional inns reflect its long history as a local market and meeting place.
The ward’s economy is largely rural, with agriculture, equestrian activity and small local businesses alongside residents who commute to nearby centres such as Chester and Wrexham. Social life is anchored by a busy village hall, clubs and annual community events, making it a focal point for surrounding hamlets and a popular base for walkers exploring the Cheshire/Shropshire countryside.
