The village of Bunbury lies at the western edge of the Cheshire Plain some 3 miles from Tarporley and 12 miles southeast of the city of Chester. Little is known of its history prior to the Norman conquest but it is generally accepted that the name is of Saxon origin and it is thought that there was a Christian place of worship on the site of the present parish church long before 1066. Early references to the settlement call it Bunan byrig, the stronghold of Buna. The village today has a supermarket, three pubs and the striking St Boniface Church which is recorded in the National Heritage List of England as a designated Grade I listed building. Eight miles away lies the popular market town of Nantwich, home to regular markets throughout the week and monthly farmer’s market showcasing the best of produce from the local area, whilst there are also many events throughout the year including The Jazz and Blues Music Festival at Easter and the famous Cheese Awards in July. Further afield lies the historic, walled city of Chester, filled with a range of independent shops and welcoming eateries catering for all taste buds. Make memories in the North West from Bunbury.

Wales as well as National Trust / English Heritage properties nearer to Peckforton. There are some lovely walks straight out of the cottage gate and the garden is delightful to sit in! The use of the washing machine meant that we took home clean clothes with no laundry to do when we got home! Bonus! We'd stay agif we were in the vicinity. Marisa and Ray were very helpful
