Cheshunt is a small rural village situated in the Upper King Valley in north-east Victoria, Australia. It is located about 50 km from Wangaratta and is close to the Alpine National Park.
Cheshunt Post Office opened on 2 August 1886.[2]
The Cheshunt post office now operates out of the general store/ takeaway food shop.[3]

Following the merger of the small local primary school in 1993 with Whitfield Primary School, primary aged children must now travel to the renamed Whitfield District Primary school a short distance up the road.

A popular local recreational and fishing area is Lake William Hovel further up the valley.[7]
