Westbury is a small rural village and civil parish in Shropshire, England, set in the county’s rolling countryside. It has the quiet, stone-built character common to many Shropshire settlements, with lanes, hedgerows and farmland close to hand, while still being within easy reach of larger towns for services and transport.
Historically rooted in agriculture, Westbury retains a typically close‑knit village social life centred on a parish church, village hall and local pub, with occasional fêtes and community activities. The local economy is still largely rural with a mixture of farming and residents who commute out for work, and the area is popular with walkers and anyone seeking a peaceful country base.
