Great Ness is a quiet, rural civil parish in Shropshire, England, set among rolling farmland and hedgerow-lined lanes within easy reach of Shrewsbury. The parish sits close to the sandstone escarpments around Nesscliffe, giving a mix of open arable fields, pasture and pockets of woodland that attract walkers and wildlife watchers.
Locally the character is agricultural and village-centred, with a handful of historic houses, a parish church and community facilities that sustain a close-knit social life. Farming remains important to the economy, while some residents commute to nearby towns; the area’s quiet lanes, historic features and nearby nature spots such as Nesscliffe Hill make it popular with country visitors.
