Welcome to Alderton

Alderton is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles south of the town of Bridgnorth and 10 miles north of the city of Wolverhampton. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including the 12th-century St. Margaret's Church. The village also has a primary school, a village hall, and a pub.

One of the most notable features of Alderton is its proximity to the River Severn. The river is a popular spot for fishing and boating, and there are several public footpaths that run alongside it, offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The village is also located near the Severn Valley Railway, a heritage railway that runs between Bridgnorth and Kidderminster. The railway is a popular tourist attraction and offers visitors the chance to experience a bygone era of steam travel.

Despite its small size, Alderton has a strong sense of community. The village hall hosts a range of events throughout the year, including a popular annual fete. The village pub, The Crown, is a hub of activity and is known for its friendly atmosphere and good food. Overall, Alderton is a charming village that offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.
