The village lies close to the border with Staffordshire and is about 8 miles north of Newport and 5 miles south east of Market Drayton.

== History and architecture == The name Cheswardine, recorded in 1086 as Ciseworde, in 1189 as Chesewordin and about 1650 as Cheswardyne, is probably derived from the Old English for "cheese-producing settlement".
