Discover Tarporley: A Charming Cheshire Village

Nestled in picturesque countryside, Tarporley is one of Cheshire’s most attractive villages. Just 11 miles from Chester and 10 miles from Nantwich, this charming rural destination offers a blend of rich history, beautiful landscapes, and a welcoming community.

Whether you're strolling through the historic high street or exploring the surrounding countryside, Tarporley exudes a timeless charm.

Tarporley’s origins date back to prehistoric times, with its first recorded mention in the Domesday Book of 1086 as “Toepelei”, thought to mean “a pear wood near a hill” in Old English. This historic reference is still celebrated today, with Tarporley Church of England Primary School proudly featuring a pear tree in its emblem.

In 1066, Tarporley was owned by Wulfgeat of Madeley and valued at £1. By 1086, under new ownership by Gilbert the Hunter, its value had fallen to £0.50. You can explore the village’s fascinating Domesday Book entry here.

From its historic architecture to its quaint shops, cosy pubs, and scenic countryside, Tarporley offers an inviting escape for visitors. Whether you're discovering local heritage or enjoying a leisurely walk through rolling landscapes, this quintessential Cheshire village is not to be missed.
