Peover Superior is a former civil parish, now in the parish of Peover Superior and Snelson,[2] in the unitary authority area of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. It is described by the Office for National Statistics as a village surrounded by inhabited countryside.[3] The civil parish included the village of Over Peover and the hamlet of Peover Heath. In 2011 the parish had a population of 666.
Peover Superior is named after The Peover Eye river, which forms one of the parish boundaries. There is also a nearby village named Peover Inferior; the two areas are so named due to their standing on the river, with Peover Superior being higher up and Peover Inferior lower down on the river.[4]
