West Felton is a rural village and civil parish in north Shropshire, set close to the England–Wales border and just a few miles from the market town of Oswestry, with Shrewsbury not far to the south. The settlement sits among rolling farmland and hedgerows, offering views across the border country towards the Berwyn Hills and retaining a quiet, countryside character.
The village combines historic roots - a medieval church and several older houses feature in the local landscape - with a small, community-focused social life: parish activities, a village pub and local enterprises. Economically the area is largely agricultural, with many residents commuting to nearby towns for work, and culturally it reflects the subtle mix of borderland English and Welsh influences that typify north Shropshire.
