Apley Castle is an electoral ward in the borough of Telford and Wrekin, in Shropshire, England, forming part of the suburban fabric of Telford. It is largely residential, punctuated by local shops, schools and pockets of public green space, and takes its name from the historic fortified manor that gave the area a distinct sense of local heritage.
The ward has a mixed socio-economic profile with many residents commuting into the wider Telford area for work; community life centres on small local events, parish and community centres, and nearby leisure facilities. For those interested in history there is some medieval and estate-era interest linked to the Apley name, while the everyday character is that of a practical, well-connected suburban neighbourhood within the new town region.
