Tong is a small, rural parish in the county of Shropshire, England, sitting on the fringes of the West Midlands and close to the new town of Telford. The landscape is largely farmland and hedgerows with pockets of older woodland, giving it a quiet, village-centred character and a relatively low population density.
Historically the community grew up around its medieval parish church and the grounds of a former country estate, and a number of listed buildings and remnant parkland still hint at that past. Today local life mixes small-scale farming and commuter households, with a modest programme of village events, a village hall and parish groups keeping social ties strong while many residents travel to nearby towns for work.
