The B5071 is a rural B-road in south Cheshire.
It starts on a bend on the A529 to the southwest of Hatherton. It heads northeast through the village before crossing the A51 by the pub in Walgherton.
The road then enters Wybunbury and detours to go round a large depression. It then reaches the outskirts of Shavington where it meets a traffic-light-controlled staggered crossroads. The road across was originally the A52 and later A500 but is now unclassified.
At the far side of Shavington the current route of the A500 is met. The mainline of the B5071 crosses the road by going over a bridge - but before the bridge there is a set of traffic lights and a spur leads down to meet the A500 at a roundabout.
The B5071 now enters the outskirts of Crewe. It goes under a couple of railway bridges, carrying the line to Nantwich, before going past the Alexandra Stadium, home to the town's football team of the same name, before ending at traffic lights on the A534. The road ahead into the town centre is the A5019.
