Wistanstow is a rural parish in south Shropshire, England, tucked between Church Stretton and Craven Arms on the edge of the Shropshire Hills AONB. The ancient parish church is dedicated to Saint Wistan and has medieval origins, and the area’s rolling farmland and quiet lanes give easy access to walking on the Long Mynd and the Stiperstones.
The community is small but lively, with mixed farming, a handful of local businesses and a strong village spirit centred on events such as the long-running Wistanstow Agricultural Show, which draws visitors from across the county. Proximity to nearby market towns means many residents commute for work, yet the parish retains a distinctly rural character and a rich local history.
