The Parish is located two miles East of Chester, close to the M53 motorway with quick access to Manchester and Liverpool areas. London by rail in 2hours 12 minutes. Mickle Trafford is home to about 2,200 people with 980 properties. We have an ancient church with links to the first Bishop of Canterbury dating back to 900AD. The village infant school is popular and highly rated. A local ancient flour grinding mill on the River Gowy is undergoing renovation and hopefully will be opened as an education centre.

We have three pubs with dining facilities and a Caravan park which is highly recommended. A recently built tennis club with ten courts, and the world renowned Hammond School of dance and drama are also in our Parish. Meadow Lea Farm Coffee Shop is a popular meeting place and close to the Chester Millennium Greenway (formerly a railway) into Chester and beyond. The ‘Springfield’ children’s play park also includes a ‘Pump Track’. The village hall is well used by many groups and has a large hall with kitchen; meeting room, and bar facilities.
