Albrighton is a civil parish and large village in Shropshire, England, sitting on the busy A41 roughly seven miles west of Wolverhampton and with a railway station on the Wolverhampton–Shrewsbury line. The settlement combines a compact historic core of timber-framed cottages and 18th–19th century buildings with more modern housing, and has long functioned as a local service and commuter centre for nearby towns and cities.
Locally notable features include the nearby RAF Cosford and its aviation museum, the country-house hotel at Albrighton Hall, and an active village life centred on independent shops, pubs, a village hall and community groups; together these give the parish a mix of rural character, historic interest and practical links to the wider West Midlands economy.
