About

Dothill & Shawbirch is a residential area on the western edge of Telford, characterised by modern housing estates and cul-de-sacs. The layout is primarily suburban, with a mix of detached and semi-detached homes built from the late 20th century onwards. Local amenities are focused around a small shopping precinct on Holyhead Road, serving the immediate community with essential retail and services.

The area is defined by its proximity to large areas of managed green space, including Dothill Park and the Shawbirch playing fields. A notable local feature is the presence of the historic Dothill Lodge, a 19th-century gatehouse that stands as a remnant of the former Dothill Estate, now surrounded by newer development. The Telford Steam Railway runs along the southern boundary, its route a preserved section of the old Wellington to Craven Arms railway line.
