The Cheshire Plain is a flat, boulder clay plain situated entirely within Cheshire. It is bounded by the hills of North Wales in the west, and the Peak District of Derbyshire in the east. To the north west lies the Wirral peninsula. It was formed by the retreat of ice age glaciers.

The primary use of the Cheshire Plain is dairy farming creating the general appearance of enclosed hedgerow fields.
