Mere is a civil parish and linear village along the old course of the A556 road in the unitary authority of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, North West England, about 7 km (4.3 mi) south-west of Altrincham.

Most houses are large and have ample gardens leading down to the lake; these are along the inner sides of a triangle formed by the A556, A50 and A5034 roads.

At Hoo Green (about a kilometre west of Mere) is a hotel called The Kilton, and a post office which also functions as a newsagent and grocer.

Motor traffic was a considerable problem for many years with approximately 60,000 cars traveling through Mere each day.

It is a brick-built mansion consisting of a medium-sized central block and a long L-shaped wing on one side.
