Whitchurch Rural is a civil parish in Shropshire, England, largely wrapping the market town of Whitchurch. The area is predominantly agricultural, made up of hedged fields, small woods, scattered hamlets and farmsteads, and benefits from good road and rail links that connect it with surrounding towns and counties.
Historically the parish has been tied to the market and services of Whitchurch, and you’ll find a number of older farm buildings and listed rural houses that reflect that past. Today local life is centred on village and parish halls, churches and community groups, with an economy combining farming, small local businesses and commuters who travel to larger centres for work.
