We recently reported how Cheshire's 'most beautiful' village is often likened to living on a film set due to its picturesque cobbled walkways, timber-framed cottages and tree-lined avenues.
Great Budworth's charm and period details make it a popular location for the TV cameras, with Netflix's newest drama Missing You and BBC's War of the Worlds using the quaint location for filming.
In addition to its cinematic appeal, the Northwich village is also a tourist hotspot in warmer weather, boasting an ice cream farm and historic pub at its heart. It's also located on the Cheshire Cycle Route, attracting fleets of cyclists.
