Walton is a Parish within the borough of Warrington in Cheshire, northern England. Walton is at the south-west edge of the borough, next to the parish of Stockton Heath. It is also close to Daresbury and Moore, although these are in the neighbouring borough of Halton. Walton is divided into Lower Walton and Higher Walton. Higher Walton is in fact South-West of Lower Walton, and is the location of a park named "Walton Hall & Gardens". The estate of Walton Hall and Gardens, previously owned by the Greenall family, was bought by Warrington Borough Council in 1941 and is now a park with a zoo and municipal golf course.[1] Walton shares its annual church Walking day parade with Stockton Heath. The nearest schools are Stockton Heath Primary School and Bridgewater High School. Walton is part of the council ward of Hatton, Stretton and Walton.
