Parish in Shropshire, England

Coordinates:52.539, -2.909
OS grid ref:SO 38 93

Wentnor is a small, rural parish in Shropshire, set among the rolling hills and pastoral landscapes of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village and its scattered hamlets are characterised by narrow lanes, stone farmhouses and open fields, offering wide views and easy access to country walks; the local scene feels quietly agricultural rather than urbanised.

Historically a farming community, the parish still relies largely on agriculture and the occasional visitor drawn to the countryside; you’ll find a handful of older, listed buildings and a modest community life centred on village facilities rather than commercial centres. It’s a place valued for its tranquillity, landscape and traditional rural character rather than for big attractions.
