Shirenewton is a small, picturesque village in Monmouthshire, Wales, set on gentle limestone ridges that give pleasant views over the surrounding countryside and toward the Wye Valley and the Severn Estuary. Its quiet lanes, public footpaths and bridleways make it popular with walkers and horse riders, and it sits within easy reach of market towns such as Chepstow and the England–Wales borderlands.
Historically the settlement grew up around a parish church and a country estate, and traces of that past survive in the village’s older houses and landscape. The local economy remains largely rural - farms, small businesses and a modest amount of tourism - while many residents commute to nearby towns; community life centres on the village hall, occasional fêtes and active local clubs, giving Shirenewton a close-knit, village feel.
