Lache, Chester — Area Guide & Where to Stay
The Lache is a housing estate in Chester, south-west of the city centre and close to the border with Saltney.
About Lache
Where to stay in Lache
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Cliveden Road runs through it. The Lache is housing rather than a visitor quarter, so a stay here means a residential Chester address on Cliveden Road or Sycamore Drive, with the city centre a short ride away. Westminster Park adjoins the estate.
If you are visiting family in this part of Chester, or working across the border in Saltney, a room near St Mark's Church puts both within reach and leaves the sightseeing for a trip into the centre.
About Lache
What are the main landmarks in Lache?
Two churches, and the roads. St Mark's Church stands over the border at Saltney and the Church of Christ is the other entry the record keeps, which leaves Cliveden Road and Sycamore Drive as the features a visitor is most likely to use. Chester holds the monuments.
The Lache offers an estate laid out for living in, and its landmark list is correspondingly short, with Westminster Park at one end and the Saltney border at the other.
What is the history of Lache?
Chester is old; The Lache is not. What is written down for The Lache is an estate rather than a village: a planned run of housing inside Chester, in Cheshire, laid out with Cliveden Road and Sycamore Drive as its main thoroughfares. Saltney lies over the boundary.
St Mark's Church belongs to Saltney, the Church of Christ is the other name on the list, and the older history of this ground sits with Chester and with England rather than with a housing estate.
Where is Lache?
The estate sits about two miles south-west of the Chester city centre, close to Saltney and running almost continuously into Westminster Park.
