Malpas is a picturesque English country village, recorded in the Doomsday Book, with a fine gothic church (St Oswalds) and buildings in a mixture of architectural styles. It has a good range of independent shops along with pubs (notably the recently refurbished Lion), restaurants, a coffee shop and an
excellent doctors surgery and pharmacy.

The City of Chester (15 miles) is one of the north west's leading retail and commercial centres serving a catchment area extending from Manchester to Shrewsbury and covering the whole of North Wales.

The leisure opportunities are also excellent. Carden Park, about 6 miles away, has two championship golf courses (one designed by Jack Nicklaus) a golf academy, an hotel and an excellent health and fitness club. Malpas is also in the heart of Wynnstay hunting country and there are opportunities for shooting and game fishing in the locality.
