Badger is a small, rural civil parish in Shropshire, England, set amongst rolling farmland and pockets of mixed woodland. The landscape is gently undulating, giving a sense of sheltered countryside rather than big, open vistas, and the settlement pattern is a dispersed village core with scattered farms and lanes.
Historically the parish has grown around agriculture and a local country estate, and today that agricultural character remains important even as some residents commute to nearby towns. There is a quiet local community life centred on the village and its historic buildings, and the area attracts interest from walkers and naturalists for its woods, hedgerows and birdlife.
