Welcome to Ashton Hayes and Horton-cum-Peel
Ashton Hayes and Horton-cum-Peel is an English civil parish within the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester
The parish lies within the ‘rural corridor’ of West Cheshire. The village of Ashton Hayes itself sits centrally in the area and is surrounded by agricultural land, hedgerows and scattered patches of woodland. The old and central parts of the village provide a reminder to people of its history and of its past dependence on farming and the land. It is the combination of the built environment of the village and outlying dwellings, set within a healthy and attractive rural environment that the community can access, which gives this area its distinct character.
