Anderton with Marbury is a civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It had a population of 582 according to the 2001 census,[1] and includes the villages of Anderton and Marbury. The eastern part of the parish lies within Northwich Community Woodlands which includes Marbury Country Park, situated in the grounds of the old Marbury Hall, and Anderton Nature Park.
Anderton is probably best known for the Victorian Anderton Boat Lift, which was the model for various European boat lifts. It is fully restored and again raises boats 50 feet (15 m) from the River Weaver to the Trent and Mersey Canal.
