context_page_description: Bulkeley is a village and civil parish in Cheshire, England, on the A534 9 miles west of Nantwich. In 2001, it had a population
  just below 250.
  The name was first recorded as Bulceleia in 1086, from Old English bulluc + leah, "pasture where bullocks graze".
context_section_description: Bulkeley Hill (SJ525552) forms the southern end of the Peckforton Hills. It is owned by the National Trust, and its wooded slopes include 12 acres (5 hectares) of semi-natural ancient woodland. The hill has been designated a county site of biological importance for its woodland and grassland habitats. A wider area covering the northern part of the civil parish has also been designated an Area of Special County Value. Another unnamed elevation of around 135 metres is located south west of Bulkeley village at SJ525540, and an unnamed brook runs east–west along the valley between it and Bulkeley Hill.
  Two covered reservoirs are located on Bulkeley Hill (at SJ525550 and SJ528552), with a pumping station at the base (SJ529553); a disused inclined plane runs westwards from the pumping station. Formerly owned by Staffordshire Potteries Water Board, the facility is now operated by Severn Trent Water. A small wooded area of access land containing two ponds is located at SJ532545, immediately east of Bulkeley village and north of the A534, and there are several other meres and ponds scattered across the farmland.
  The land use is predominantly agricultural, with cattle pasture, horse paddocks and some arable land.
