Waverton is a village and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It lies about 5 km south east of Chester. It is almost continuous with the village of Rowton to the north west and that in turn is almost, but not quite, continuous with Christleton. The Shropshire Union Canal (originally Chester Canal) runs through the middle of Waverton. According to the 2001 Census, the population was 1,560 living in 660 households.
