The village is situated to the south west of Chester, very close to the England–Wales border. The civil parish includes Balderton, Gorstella, Lower Kinnerton and Rough Hill. It is one of the three old Cheshire parishes which are situated on the Flintshire side of the River Dee.[1]

Dodleston has a village shop with post office, village hall, village green, a C of E primary school, the Grade II listed St Mary's Church[2] and the Grade II listed 'Red Lion' pub.[3] It also contains some good examples of buildings by the 19th-century architect John Douglas.

At the 2001 census, the population of Dodleston was 777,[4] reducing to 715 at the 2011 census.[5]
