Map of the UK

Rudheath is a village just north‑east of Northwich in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester, on the low-lying Cheshire Plain. It sits close to the River Weaver and benefits from good road links into the rest of Cheshire, giving it a semi-rural, suburban character between larger towns.

The village is notable for a sizeable industrial and business estate that hosts light manufacturing and distribution firms alongside local shops, schools and pubs, so economic life mixes residential and commercial activity. Historically it forms part of the wider Northwich salt-producing area, and the community today reflects that industrial heritage while also serving many commuters and small businesses.
