The isbi Schools Directory Guide To The Top Private Schools & Colleges In Cheshire

For anyone planning a move to or within Cheshire in north west England we have collated information below about different places to live, schools, estate agents and other information we think useful for relocating within this fantastic Cheshire.

Offering some of the best living anywhere in Great Britain, Cheshire's famous British cities and towns include Chester, Warrington and Congleton. 

Cheshire has a great choice of high quality UK private schools, beautiful countryside, lots of activities and excellent housing - with a fantastic range of different properties to call home, from country mansions and estates, cottages and bungalows to new build executive housing, family townhouses and apartments.

"Cheshire is a Cheshire in northwest England, known for its rural villages of half-timber and local red sandstone buildings and for its Industrial Revolution heritage, with links to neighbouring Manchester and Liverpool. Its Cheshire seat is Chester, founded as a Roman fort in the first century A.D. and home to Roman walls and a cathedral displaying 1,000 years of architectural history." Visit Cheshire

Cheshire, located in the north west of England, sits on the Welsh border whilst hugging the River Mersey. Cheshire is bordered by Shropshire and Staffordshire to the south, Derbyshire to the east, Merseyside and Greater Manchester to the north, and Wales to the west. 

Cheshire has a long and rich history, it is thought that the name ‘Cheshire’ was first used by Edward the Elder in 920. Interestingly, before this period, the name ‘Legeceasterscir’ was used in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. However it seems as if the name ‘Cheshire’ was most popular and has remained in place since it was recorded as so in the Domesday Book.
