Palacefields is a residential locality in the south of Runcorn, built primarily during the 1970s as part of the town’s "New Town" expansion. It occupies a distinct place in the local landscape, sitting on land that was once part of the Norton Priory estate; in fact, the neighborhood takes its name from the historic Palace Fields that served the medieval priory and later the Georgian country house. Geographically, it is bordered by Halton Lea and the expansive Town Park, which provides a significant amount of green space right on the doorstep for walking. The layout is typical of the era’s urban planning, separating pedestrian footpaths from main roads and centering the community around a local moat - a remnant of the area’s much older history. It is exceptionally well-connected for those commuting across the North West, with the Runcorn Busway running through the heart of the estate and easy access to the A533, which links directly to the Mersey Gateway bridge and the M56 motorway.
