Mouldsworth is west of Delamere Forest, in what is known as the Mouldsworth Gap, a break in the Mid Cheshire Ridge, which runs north–south through the centre of Cheshire. This region originated at the end of the last ice age, when glacial meltwaters formed a vast lake in the West Cheshire basin which burst through the sandstone ridge, and deposited large amounts of sand and gravel across an extensive outwash fan on the eastern side of the ridge.
