Cheshire, Ceremonial county in North West England
Cheshire spans 905 square miles of land between Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Shropshire, featuring the Cheshire Plain and Mid-Cheshire Ridge.
The region housed Bronze and Iron Age hill forts before Romans established a fortress called Deva at Chester in 71 CE to control northern Wales.
The Royal Cheshire Show, running since the 1800s, presents agricultural exhibitions, local products, and traditional county activities throughout the year.
The county divides into four administrative regions: Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester, Halton, and Warrington, with Chester serving as the county town.
The local red sandstone formations have influenced both the soil composition and building materials throughout the region, creating a distinct architectural identity.
