Westbury is a small, rural civil parish in Shropshire, England, set amid rolling farmland, hedgerows and pockets of mixed woodland. The settlement is centred on a modest village with a historic church and a scattering of stone and timber-framed cottages that hint at its long agricultural past.
Locally the economy remains largely agricultural, supplemented by residents who commute to nearby market towns; community life is anchored by a parish council, a village hall and occasional fêtes and village gatherings. The surrounding lanes and fields make it popular with walkers and those seeking a quiet slice of Shropshire countryside, while older buildings and field patterns reflect centuries of rural history.
