Hodnet is a small village and civil parish in north Shropshire, England, set among rolling farmland a few miles from Market Drayton and within easy reach of Telford. The local economy remains largely rural, centred on agriculture and small local businesses, with village amenities such as a primary school, village hall, pubs and sports clubs sustaining community life; the area was once served by a rural railway which has long since closed.
The parish is best known for Hodnet Hall and its celebrated gardens, famed for spring displays of rhododendrons and azaleas, and the village sits on land with medieval roots, including the site of a motte-and-bailey. St Luke's Church and regular local events contribute to a strong village identity that blends traditional Shropshire life with a modest visitor trade for the gardens and country-house setting.
