Whitchurch Urban is the civil parish that covers the market town of Whitchurch in Shropshire, England. It sits on the banks of the River Weaver and is surrounded by agricultural countryside close to the Cheshire border, with a compact historic centre of timber-framed buildings, a market square and an active high street.
The town has a long history with a medieval core and several listed buildings, and local heritage groups help keep that past alive. Economically it serves the surrounding rural area with independent shops, light industry and commuters using the railway for links to Shrewsbury, Crewe and Chester, while regular markets, festivals and community clubs give it a lively, small‑town feel.
