Winsford Wharton is a residential ward within the town of Winsford in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester, England. It sits close to the River Weaver and the series of shallow lakes known as the Winsford Flashes, features which reflect the area's salt‑working past and make the local landscape noticeably watery and green compared with much of Cheshire.
Historically shaped by the 19th‑century salt industry, the ward today is a mix of housing, local shops and community facilities, with parks and walking routes popular for birdwatching and informal recreation. There is an active local community life with schools, clubs and small businesses, and many residents commute to larger centres nearby while enjoying the quieter, semi‑rural character of the area.
