The Cheshire Plain is a flat lowland in the county of Cheshire in North West England, extending south into Shropshire between the hills of North Wales, the foothills of the Pennines and the Shropshire Hills. It is the surface expression of the Cheshire Basin, a deep sedimentary basin, and took its present form as the last glacial period's ice sheets melted between about 20,000 and 15,000 years ago, leaving a thick cover of glacial till and glacio-fluvial sand and gravel.
