Neston is a compact coastal town and ward on the Wirral peninsula within the Cheshire West and Chester unitary authority in England. Its high street of independent shops, Victorian and Georgian houses and a regular market give it a villagey, community-focused feel, while the nearby salt marshes and the Dee Estuary make it popular with birdwatchers and walkers.

Historically the area grew around fishing, small-scale salt production and the shifting fortunes of nearby ports such as Parkgate, and later benefited from 19th-century rail links that shaped commuting patterns; today many residents work locally or commute to Chester and Liverpool. Civic life centres on community groups, local festivals and heritage conservation, so the ward combines a strong local identity with easy access to larger urban centres.
