About

Shenstone ward encompasses a large rural area to the east of Lichfield city. The landscape is primarily characterised by farmland, small woodland areas, and scattered settlements, including the village of Shenstone itself. The ward is crossed by several key transport routes, including the railway line and the A5 road, which connect it to wider regions. Residential areas consist mainly of housing estates and older properties centred around the village, with significant areas given over to agricultural use.

A notable local landmark is the four-spired Church of St John the Baptist, which stands prominently in the village. The ward also contains the site of the former Shenstone railway station, reflecting its historical transport links. Development is balanced with green spaces, including playing fields and the rural surroundings of Canwell and Little Hay. The area maintains a distinct separation from the urban centre of Lichfield.
