Ravensmoor is a village in the unitary authority of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England, located at SJ620505.[2] It is split between the civil parishes of Baddiley and Burland and Acton. It lies at an elevation of 65 m, around 2+1⁄4 miles (3.6 km) south west of Nantwich and 6 miles (9.7 km) south west of Crewe.
The village centres on the crossroads of Baddiley Lane, Marsh Lane, Swanley Lane and Sound Lane, with a small village green adjacent. Much of the village dates from the second half of the 20th century.
The village lies within a fork of the Shropshire Union Canal south of the Hurleston Junction; the Llangollen branch runs 2⁄3 mile (1.1 km) to the west and the main line of the canal runs just over a mile to the east. Ravensmoor Brook runs to the east of the village and Edleston Brook to the south and west.
The Baddiley and Ravensmoor Methodist Church, formerly a Wesleyan Chapel, is located on Swanley Lane in the north west of the village (at SJ620507). Dated 1878, the building is in orange brick with stone dressing and has a prominent circular window and pillars capped with decorative stonework.[3]
The Farmer's Arms public house stands at the crossroads.
