The pretty village of Christleton is ideally situated close to the historic city of Chester, (approximately two and a half miles to Chester city centre). To its centre is the beautiful church of St James and nearby the Shropshire Union Canal passes through, while the large Christleton Pond is noted for its abundance of ducks and swans. The village has an active local community with a good range of local services including a general store, public house, cricket club and well regarded primary and secondary schools. There are also a number of private schools within easy driving distance including the King's School, Queen's School and Abbeygate College. Easy access is available to neighbouring centres of employment via the M53 which leads to the motorway network and also the Chester Southerly By-Pass which leads to North Wales.
