Albrighton is a large village and civil parish in Shropshire, England, lying on the A41 and the Shrewsbury–Wolverhampton rail line. Its position close to RAF Cosford and the M54 gives it a convenient mix of rural countryside and commuter links to nearby towns, while the village itself centres on a green and a compact high street of attractive period buildings.
Historically the settlement has deep roots and retains a traditional parish church and local institutions; it also has a long sporting and hunting association with the surrounding farmland.
