About

Gobowen serves as the main transport hub for this rural part of north Shropshire, centred around its railway station on the Chester to Shrewsbury line. The village itself is largely residential, with local services clustered near the station and along the main road. The surrounding landscape is dominated by agricultural land and small woodland pockets, typical of the county's borderlands.

The area includes the neighbouring parishes of St Martin's and Weston Rhyn, both characterised by quiet, dispersed settlements and farmland. A notable local landmark is the former Orthopaedic Hospital at Gobowen, a significant institution with a long history of specialist care.
