Willaston is a village in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester, England, on the north-western edge of the Wirral Peninsula close to Ellesmere Port and Neston. It sits near the Dee estuary and is within easy commuting distance of Chester and Liverpool, combining a semi-rural setting with good road and public-transport links.
Originally an agricultural settlement, Willaston expanded through the 19th and 20th centuries as transport and nearby industry developed; today it remains largely residential with a village school, church, local clubs and pubs, and an active community that stages events and preserves a number of historic buildings and rural lanes. The result is a place with a quiet, village feel that still serves as a practical base for commuters and families.
