It is near High Legh, and about 15 miles (24 km) south-west from Manchester City Centre. It is the site of Agden Hall. According to the 2001 census, the population of the civil parish was 146.[1] Because the population is so small, it did not have a parish council, instead, relying on a parish meeting.[3]
