The village 'that's an escape from the real world' - and is just 90 minutes from Manchester

Nestled on a hilltop with views across a sparkling crystal blue mere, the village of Marbury is one of the most picture perfect in Cheshire. Black and white timber framed houses are clustered around the village green where Marbury's historic pub proudly looks out across rolling fields.

The Swan has just been named one of the UK's best pubs at the National Pub and Bar Awards, one of five in the north west that makes the prestigious list and the best in Cheshire. The Swan is the hub of the tight-knit community here, who hail Marbury "the loveliest of places with the loveliest people".

The village sits at the southern edge of Cheshire, near Nantwich, and just a mile from the Shropshire border. There are a wealth of pretty walks to and from the pub, including one across three miles over fields where you can walk right into Whitchurch.
