With pretty boutiques housed in a patchwork of historic buildings along its bustling High Street, Tarporley is a thriving village community in the heart of Cheshire. It has won countless "best kept village" awards over the years, has a Royal connection, and can now add the accolade of being named one of the Best Places to Live in the UK by The Sunday Times.
Despite its small size - the village community is mostly to be found around the High Street itself - Tarporley is known as a shoppers' paradise thanks to the huge array of fashion and quirky boutiques here. On a short stroll of the parade you will find fashion boutiques, florists, vintage stores, gift shops and jewellers - more than most towns, let alone villages.
Venture off onto the pretty side streets and cobbled alleyways and even more boutiques can be found in this quirky village that is known for the array of listed buildings that lines the "glamorous and practical" high street. It's a hive of community activity, with every boutique an independent shop - save for the one Co-Op convenience store in the village.
