Alveley, Claverley & Worfield

The Alveley, Claverley and Worfield area sits in south‑east Shropshire, set amid farmland and woodland north of the River Severn. Villages are linked by narrow lanes and footpaths; the Severn Valley Country Park at Alveley occupies reclaimed spoil from the former Alveley Colliery and gives direct access to riverside trails and meadowland. The River Worfe runs through Worfield parish and defines valleys and small wetland areas that support local wildlife. Hedgerows and small woodlands mark old field boundaries and routes between farms.

Settlements carry long histories: Claverley’s parish church contains medieval wall paintings, including a Doom scene, and stonework spanning several centuries. Alveley retains traces of its mining past in earthworks and interpretation panels within the country park. Worfield has a compact village centre around the church and lanes that lead to farms and commons in the surrounding parish. Village halls and local societies run events and maintain rights of way, while walking routes link the three communities without relying on major roads.
