The CH postcode area, also known as the Chester postcode area,[2] is a group of 37 postcode districts in North West England and North East Wales. Together the districts cover west Cheshire, the Wirral part of Merseyside, and east Flintshire. Its thirteen post towns are Bagillt, Birkenhead, Buckley, Chester, Deeside, Ellesmere Port, Flint, Holywell, Mold, Neston, Prenton, Wallasey, and Wirral.

The postcodes for the Wirral Peninsula were originally covered by the L postcode area, until they were transferred to the CH postcode area in 1999. The postcode numbers were unchanged, for example L41 became CH41.[3]

Mail for the CH postcode area is processed at Chester Mail Centre, along with mail for the LL and SY postcode areas.
