Welcome to Ackleton

Ackleton is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles west of the town of Bridgnorth and 10 miles south of the city of Wolverhampton.

The village also has a primary school, a village hall, and a pub, The Bell Inn, which is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.

One of the most notable features of Ackleton is its rich history. The village has been inhabited since at least the Roman era, and there are a number of archaeological sites in the area that attest to this fact. In the Middle Ages, Ackleton was an important center of trade and commerce, and it played a key role in the wool trade that was so important to the economy of the region. Today, visitors to the village can still see many of the historic buildings and landmarks that date back to this period, including the church and several old farmhouses.

Despite its small size, Ackleton is a vibrant and welcoming community. The village has a strong sense of community spirit, and there are a number of events and activities that take place throughout the year, including a popular annual fete and a Christmas market. The village also has a number of local clubs and societies, including a gardening club, a history society, and a women's institute.
