Tilston is a small rural village and civil parish in Cheshire West and Chester, sitting close to the border with Wales. It occupies quiet rolling farmland and lanes a few miles from the market town of Malpas, within reasonable commuting distance of both Chester and Wrexham, and retains a compact, village atmosphere rather than suburban sprawl.
Historically the settlement is medieval in origin and is recorded early in county records; the landscape still shows the earthwork of a Norman motte-and-bailey, often referred to locally as Tilston Castle, and a historic parish church anchors community life. Agriculture has long dominated the local economy, but today the social life centres on the village hall, church activities and small-scale farming, with many residents combining local work with commuting to nearby towns.
