Huntington is a small village and civil parish on the outskirts of Chester in the Chester District of Cheshire, England. At the 2001 Census, the population of the entire civil parish was 1,961.[1]

It is known to have existed since at least 1801, as the population according to the census of the year was 111, becoming 129 in 1851, 121 in 1901 and 2,614 in 1951.[2]

[edit] Community

The main road through the village, Chester Road (B5130), links Chester, which is less than a mile to the north, with the villages of Farndon and Aldford to the south. The A55 (North Wales Expressway) passes through the south of the village, but is not directly accessible at Huntington.[3]

The village includes a few shops, a post office, Huntington Primary School and St Luke's Church of England Church. Recreational open spaces include a village green, Jubilee Field and the 30 acres of wetland, woodland and meadows of Caldy Nature Park.[3][4]

Saighton Camp is an old British Army base that despite the name, is listed as in Huntington. Now closed, the base is subject to consultation over its future use.
