Ternhill is a small village in Shropshire, England, lying beside the River Tern and close to the market town of Market Drayton. It sits on a busy crossroads on the main local routes and feels very much part of the rolling, agricultural countryside of north‑east Shropshire, with footpaths, farms and a tight‑knit village community.
The place is best known for its long‑standing military presence: the airfield at RAF Tern Hill and the adjacent barracks have shaped local employment and life for decades, adding a strategic and historic dimension that dates back to the world wars. Aside from the military connection, the local economy is largely rural and service‑orientated, with village clubs, a pub and community events reflecting a quiet, small‑town social scene.
