Great Boughton is a civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire West and Chester and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It includes the villages of Boughton Heath and Vicars Cross. It had a population of 2,627 according to the 2011 census.^[1]

It is sometimes confused with the separate settlement of Boughton, which lies just to the west, within the boundaries of the city of Chester.

In the 1870s, Great Boughton was described as:

a township and a district in Cheshire. The township is in St. Oswald parish, and partly within Chester city; and lies on the Chester and Crewe railway, 1 mile E of Chester.^[2]

Great Boughton is a parish that comprises the villages of Boughton Heath, Caldy Valley, Vicars Cross and a section of Huntington. Attractions include the Sandy Lane Aqua Park with ferry to Meadows, Caldy Nature Reserve and Boughton Hall Cricket Club. Great Boughton came into the news when a controversial development at the disused Saighton Camp caused the remodelling of a roundabout. The new design features a hamburger roundabout which has also proved controversial^[3] and the roundabout now creates delays especially on the A41 where tailbacks frequently reach 2 miles.
