About Burton
Still an attractive village, with lots of "old world" charm, Burton is now a dormitory for the retired or those commuting to work in Chester, Liverpool and Manchester.
It no longer has a shop, pub or post office, but beneath its sleepy exterior is a vibrant network of activities.
The main centre for these events is the Gladstone Village Hall and associated sports club where every weekend and most evenings something of interest is taking place.
From gardening to tennis, from bowls to picture painting, there is something for everyone.
Other activities are centred on the Parish Church, the local Primary school,
Burton Manor College and the nearby RSPB centre.
The opportunities to socialise and meet other residents are almost limitless: with licensed bars available at the Social Club and Burton Manor College (membership necessary!)
There is a strong resolve amongst the residents to maintain the charm of the village and a well-supported Residents' Association keeps a watchful eye on any proposed developments.
A special "Welcome Pack" which contains details and contacts for all the various clubs and activities is given to all new residents.
