Cockshutt is a small rural village and civil parish in north Shropshire, England, lying a few miles from the Welsh border and close to the market town of Ellesmere. The surrounding landscape is typical of north Shropshire – rolling farmland, hedgerows and the meres and mosses that give the area a quietly watery character – so it appeals to walkers and anyone looking for a rural escape rather than a built-up centre.
Locally the economy remains largely agricultural with a mix of smallholdings and residents who commute into nearby towns, while the village itself retains a strong community feel with a parish council, village hall and a number of historic cottages and farm buildings. The settlement has medieval roots and several listed buildings, and its name is thought to derive from Old English, reflecting the long continuity of rural life in the area.
