It is about 8 miles north east of Chester city centre on the B5393 road. The nearest villages are Manley to the north west and Ashton Hayes to the south west. Delamere Forest is situated 2 miles to the east of the village and is within easy walking distance.[1] At the 2001 Census the population was recorded at 302,[2] increasing slightly to 327 at the 2011 Census.[3]

Mouldsworth railway station is situated on the Mid-Cheshire Line, with services to Chester and Manchester.

There is a public house called the Goshawk, formerly the Station Hotel, in the centre of the village opposite the station. There are references to the Station Hotel and its bowling green with magnificent views as far back as 1891.[4] There is also a unisex hairdressers, called Whistles, located in the railway's old ticket office.[5] Sights include Mouldsworth Motor Museum, founded in 1971 and housed in a 1930s Art Deco building, formerly a water-softening plant.[6] The museum closed in 2013.[7]
