Pickmere is a small village and civil parish in Cheshire West and Chester, England, centred on the shallow glacial lake known locally as Pick Mere. The mere provides a focus for wildlife and recreation - it’s popular with sailors and anglers and has reed-fringed margins that attract waterfowl - giving the settlement a distinctly rural, watery character despite its proximity to larger towns such as Knutsford.
Historically agricultural, the area still shows farmed landscapes and traditional cottages, but it has also become something of a commuter village thanks to nearby road links like the M6 and M56. A small, active local community and watersports clubs help sustain village life, making Pickmere a quiet, desirable spot for countryside living with relatively easy access to Chester, Manchester and the Cheshire Plain.
