Tern is an electoral ward in Shropshire, England, taking its name from the nearby River Tern. The ward is largely rural, a patchwork of arable fields, pastures and hedgerows with small villages and hamlets clustered around the river corridors and lanes; the landscape is popular with walkers and birdwatchers because of its quiet riverside habitats and pockets of wetland.
Locally the economy leans on agriculture alongside a fair number of people who commute to larger towns, and the area retains a strong village-centred community life with parish churches, village halls and pubs playing a central role. Historic features - from listed farmhouses and medieval church sites to field patterns suggesting long-settled countryside - give the ward a sense of continuity and local identity.
