Whitchurch

Whitchurch in Shropshire, England sits close to the English-Welsh border on the banks of the River Tern and alongside the Shropshire Union Canal. The market town has a long history reaching back to Saxon and medieval times, reflected in a compact centre of Georgian and Victorian buildings and a continuing market tradition.

The town combines local agriculture and light industry with a commuter population thanks to rail links towards Crewe and Shrewsbury, and retains an active community life - weekly markets, heritage groups, sports clubs and small festivals keep a strong civic spirit. Whitchurch’s mix of historic character, waterways and transport connections makes it a quietly attractive hub for the surrounding rural area and for visitors exploring north Shropshire and neighbouring Wales.
