Cleobury Mortimer is a small historic market town and electoral ward in south Shropshire, England, set in a steep-sided valley on the edge of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It keeps a strong sense of history - the Mortimer family gave the town its name and its compact high street is lined with timber-framed buildings and a prominent church tower, reflecting its medieval market origins.
Today the local economy mixes agriculture, tourism and independent retail with a handful of small engineering and craft businesses, while the social life is lively for a settlement of its size, with regular markets, community events and easy access to walking and riding country that draws visitors from the surrounding region.
