Great Warford

Great Warford ( /ɡrɪtˈwɔrfəd/) is a small village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England.

A predominantly farming settlement that has existed for about a thousand years, it is now also important for private healthcare and property development. The population today is 1710. There is no real municipal centre in terms of population density and importance; the "Warford Park" development is home to some 300 people. Its amenities include an on-site health/leisure club, tennis courts, Warford Park Bowling Club and several acres of gardens/lake and parkland.

Great Warford does not have direct access to national transport networks, having no railway or bus station. It is however in the centre of "The Golden Triangle" subtended by Alderley Edge, Knutsford and Wilmslow and so is well served by varied schools, shops, restaurants, entertainment and places of worship. The North West's extensive motorway network is close enough without too much detrimental effect on its rural qualities. It is not far from Manchester Airport and a successful local golf club and an assortment of local footpaths provide the only remarkable tourist attractions.
