Rixton and Woolston is a ward in Warrington, England, covering a string of small villages and surrounding countryside to the east of the town. The area sits close to the River Mersey and combines agricultural land, pockets of suburban housing and a handful of local shops, pubs and village halls.
It has a quietly rural character with historic churches and vernacular buildings reflecting its agricultural past, while many residents commute to nearby centres such as Warrington, Manchester and Liverpool. Local green spaces and waterways are well used for walking and community events, and the modest local economy is supported by small businesses and village amenities.
