Geography and transport
The civil parish includes several small deciduous and mixed woodlands including Bachehouse Covert, and also the mere of Bachehouse Pool and most of Hurleston Reservoir.[1]
The Shropshire Union Canal splits into two branches at Hurleston Junction and both branches run through the parish. The main line runs north–south, while the Llangollen branch at first runs westwards, descending 34 feet via the four Hurleston Locks, and then turns southwards.[1] The A51 road runs north–south through the parish, crossing the Llangollen branch of the canal at Hurleston Bridge. The A534 road forms part of the southern boundary of the civil parish.[1]
