Located midway between Shrewsbury and Church Stretton, the village of Dorrington could be described as the gateway to the South Shropshire Hills AONB. A village hall, primary school, church, 18th-century coaching inn, a popular restaurant, independent butchers and a post office all help to make this a thriving local community.

Within easy reach is Shrewsbury, the county town of Shropshire, a medieval market town steeped in history and lying adjacent to the River Severn. Modern shopping facilities complement the variety of independent traders while black and white buildings, a sandstone castle, an abbey are reminders of a colourful past.

And Shrewsbury is still colourful; the annual Shrewsbury Flower Show is one of the country’s largest horticultural attractions. Quality food and entertainment venues further enhance the enviable lifestyle enjoyed by Shrewsbury’s residents.
