Accolade for Christleton

Neighbouring Village – A Most Desirable UK Location


Christleton, which is situated just a few miles from Tattenhall, has featured alongside six other North West locations as one of the most desirable neighbourhoods anywhere in the UK. Congratulations to Christleton!

The Sunday Times Best Places to Live 2022 selected the North West's regional winner as Trawden in Lancashire. The five accompanying locations (which were not ranked) included Christleton (the others were: Altrincham, Kirkby Lonsdale, Prestwich, and West Kirby).

Expert judges assessed a wide range of factors, from schools, transport and broadband to culture, green spaces and health of the high street. The sponsor of the guide, Halifax, also provided an average house price.

The Sunday Times said of Christleton:

"This picture-perfect spot offers an aspirational version of traditional village life just a few miles from the centre of Chester. It's beautiful, much loved by its residents, has excellent schools right on the doorstep and a shop, café and excellent pubs."

Helen Davies, The Times and Sunday Times Property Editor, said: "The Sunday Times Best Places to Live list is necessarily subjective. Leave it just to statistics and you will never capture the spirit of a place. For that, you need to visit to take into account that 'you have to be here' feeling. Is the pub dog-friendly, for example? Can you live car-free? What are the schools and houses like? Is it multicultural and multigenerational, and can it offer a good way of life to lots of different sorts of people?"

The designated criteria for the selection are:

• Schools
• Transport
• Broadband
• Culture
• Green spaces
• Health of the high street

Considering these it is clear that Tattenhall offers just as great an attraction; it too is much loved by its residents, has excellent schools on the doorstep, excellent transport links, a fabulous shop, superb cafe, excellent pubs, great take-aways, a Sports Hall with a vibrant programme of activities and events, and a community with a vast range of clubs and interest groups to take part in.

So, everyone, raise awareness – speak out in praise of our lovely village!
