Map of the UK

The ward covers the villages of Alveley and Claverley in Shropshire, England, set among the wooded sandstone ridges and valleys of the Severn corridor. It is largely rural with mixed farming and small local businesses; Alveley is notable for its country park created on the former colliery site beside the River Severn, and the area benefits from nearby heritage attractions such as the Severn Valley Railway.

Claverley is best known for its attractive medieval parish church with fine carved woodwork and a handful of historic manor houses, while Alveley carries a 20th‑century mining heritage that contrasts with recent conservation and leisure use. Both villages have active community life - village halls, pubs and local events - and many residents commute to nearby towns such as Bridgnorth and Wolverhampton.
