About

Hanwood lies just southwest of Shrewsbury, characterised by its agricultural land and the presence of the historic Hanwood Hall. The area forms a transition between the urban fringe and the more rural landscapes to the west, with the River Severn flowing not far to the north. Local farming focuses on arable crops and livestock, shaping the surrounding fields and lanes.

To the west, the communities of Pontesbury and Minsterley sit at the foot of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Pontesbury is a larger village with local services, while Minsterley has historical connections to lead mining. The distinctive, isolated hill of Pontesbury Hill, with its ancient hillfort, rises prominently above the settlements, offering views across the surrounding patchwork of farms and woodlands towards the Stiperstones ridge.
