Croft is a small village and civil parish in the Borough of Warrington, Cheshire, historically part of Lancashire. It sits close to the M6 and M56, giving straightforward road links into Manchester and Liverpool, yet it retains a distinctly rural setting with farmland, lanes and a compact cluster of houses.
Community life is typical of a small English village, centred on a village hall, a local pub and occasional parish events; its roots are agricultural, reflected in older cottages and lanes, but many residents now commute to nearby industrial and business parks in the wider Warrington area, so Croft combines a quiet village atmosphere with easy access to jobs and services.
