About

Shifnal is a market town in eastern Shropshire, situated near the border with Staffordshire. The area is characterised by its historic core, with buildings constructed from local red sandstone defining its architectural identity. The layout of the town centre reflects its medieval origins as a planned settlement. Surrounding the town are mixed agricultural lands and areas of woodland, with the M54 motorway providing a major transport link to Telford and the wider West Midlands region.

The parish church of St Andrew, with its notable 17th-century spire, is a central landmark. The area includes several smaller villages and hamlets, such as Tong, which contribute to a largely rural setting. Shifnal retains a traditional high street with independent shops and hosts a regular weekly market. The town's railway station connects it to Birmingham and Shrewsbury, supporting its role as a commuter settlement within the Shropshire countryside.
