The area is relatively flat with an average elevation of around 70 metres. The civil parish is predominantly rural, with the major land use being agricultural.^[9]^[10] Part of Doddington Park falls within the north east of the parish, including an unnamed lake south east of Pepperstreet Moss. Landscaped in the 18th century by Capability Brown, the park is listed at grade II by the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.^[11]^[12] There several areas of mixed woodland, particularly in the north east of the parish, including Black Covert, Chapel Wood, Pepperstreet Moss, The Reeds and part of Birchenhill Wood. Ridley's Pool lies within Chapel Wood, and numerous small meres and ponds are scattered across the parish. Birchall Brook forms part of the southern boundary, and several unnamed brooks run through the parish.^[9]^[10]

Bridgemere Lane/Hunterson Road^[13] runs east–west through the parish between the A529 to the west and the A51 to the east. Hunsterson Road runs northwards from the junction of Bridgemere Lane and Hunterson Road towards Hatherton, and Pewit Lane runs southwards to Brown Moss; the crossroads at SJ697461 forms the centre of the hamlets of Hunsterson and Four Lane End. The South Cheshire Way runs through the north-west of the parish, in part following Bridgemere Lane.^[10]
