Chesterton and Holditch are nestled between Bradwell and Apedale Valley.

Situated approximately 3 miles to the north of the market town of Newcastle-under-Lyme, and previously a mining area, the closure of the collieries in the 1980 s has meant significant and diverse changes.

There is now a different thriving business community with many local schools and a good transport network. The area is served by a number of different churches of varying denominations.
