Shifnal is a small market town and civil parish in Shropshire, England, sitting on the edge of the Shropshire plain with good road and rail links - it’s close to the M54 and within easy reach of Telford and Wolverhampton. The town retains a compact historic core with a mix of timber‑framed, Georgian and Victorian buildings and a village feel despite being a popular commuter base.
Its origins are medieval and the parish church has Norman features, while the nearby presence of RAF Cosford and the Cosford Air Museum adds an unusual local landmark. Today Shifnal is known for independent shops, traditional pubs and active community groups, balancing heritage conservation with modest modern development on the edges.
