Location

Antrobus is situated in North Cheshire, 7 miles south of Warrington and 5 miles north of Northwich. It is a rural parish set amidst fertile agricultural land and as with many villages is typified by its primary school, village hall, church, Post Office/shop and village pub, all close to the village centre.
There is a real community spirit in the village that is nurtured by the residents and indeed, the village shop is run by the villagers themselves, having previously closed in 2003. The area is well placed for good communications to the North West's commercial centres via the M56 and London Euston is under 2 hours away by train from Warrington. Cransley School is less than 1 mile away, The Grange School is about 4 miles away and the North West is well served by many other good state and independent schools.
