Map of the UK

Sheriffhales is a small, rural village and civil parish in Shropshire, sitting close to the county boundary with Staffordshire. It occupies rolling farmland and pockets of mixed woodland rather than a tightly built-up centre, and its name - literally the sheriff’s “halh” or nook of land - hints at medieval manorial connections and a long local history reflected in a parish church and a few historic houses and farmsteads.

Today life in Sheriffhales is quietly agricultural, with many residents working on the land or commuting into nearby towns such as Telford and Newport. The community is small and close-knit, with village events, a village hall and local clubs sustaining social life, while the surrounding countryside attracts walkers and those seeking a peaceful rural base.
