Christleton is a village situated just over 2 miles south of Chester. Leave the A41 under the flyover to travel along Pepper Street passing over the Shropshire Union Canal and then the Law College on your left before arriving at the village green. Her you will find St. James’ Parish Church and the Parish Hall. Going straight ahead will take you down Birch Heath Lane but turning left along Brown HeathRoad to take you past the Methodist Church to the village pond know locally as The Pit. Home in the first part of the year to a pair of nesting swans and the cygnets born in 2010.
Had you turned right at the village green you would have travelled along Village Road past the village shop, once the Post Office and opposite is the Ring O Bells public house. Continuing on the Old Farm app ears on the right, the oldest house in Christleton and the Village Institute on the left hand side.

At the cross roads is Christleton High School. Quarry Lane to the right will take you past the Primary School and back to Pepper Street. Straight ahead is Rowton Bridge Road and back to the A41. To the left is Plough Lane which will take you to another crossroads where you will find the Plough Inn and a road to the neighbouring village of Waverton. All this can be seen on the web site map.
