Located to the north of the city, Bache combines with Moston and Upton-by-Chester to form a joint parish council.

The area, which now lies under Liverpool Road and a supermarket car park, was slowly reclaimed and raised when the course of the river was diverted in the 1730s.

Its course can be traced from Bache Brook which is now partially covered by the Deva Link, a highways relief road.

[1] A significant area of the parish is occupied by the Countess of Chester Hospital, which is a communal institution.

Bache railway station is on the Wirral line of the Merseyrail network, with services running between Chester and Liverpool.
