Longnor is a small, rural parish in Shropshire, England, set among rolling farmland, hedgerows and scattered stone farmsteads on the fringes of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The settlement pattern is sparse, with quiet lanes, footpaths and bridleways that make it popular with walkers and those seeking a tranquil countryside pace of life.
Historically rooted in agriculture, the local economy remains largely farming‑based - sheep and cattle - supplemented by some holiday lets, crafts and commuting to nearby market towns such as Bishop's Castle and Craven Arms. The parish retains traditional stone cottages and a parish church, and community life still centres on the village hall and occasional local events that sustain a strong rural identity.
