Tarporley is a picturesque market village in Cheshire West and Chester, England, sited on a ridge of higher ground and long valued for its views over the surrounding Cheshire countryside. The village is built around a notably handsome High Street of timber-framed and Georgian buildings and is a designated conservation area, reflecting its medieval and later development as a local market and coaching stop on the road between Chester and further south.

Today Tarporley combines a busy local economy of independent shops, cafés, pubs and artisan businesses with an agricultural and equestrian hinterland, and it remains popular with commuters and day visitors alike. There is a strong community life, with local clubs and events, and the village’s historic character and pleasant rural setting make it one of Cheshire’s more sought-after small centres.
