Ruyton-XI-Towns is a small village and civil parish in rural Shropshire, perched in the rolling countryside not far from the Welsh border. It sits in the valley of the River Perry, a few miles from Oswestry and within reach of Shrewsbury, making it a scenic spot popular with walkers and people who commute to the larger towns.
The name recalls a medieval grouping of eleven townships and the place still wears its history visibly: a compact historic core, a parish church with medieval fabric and nearby earthworks that hint at fortifications and market days gone by. Today the economy is largely agricultural with a village community feel, complemented by local history interests and the practical pull of nearby market towns.
