Welcome to Corfton

Corfton is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. It is situated in the heart of the Shropshire Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The village is surrounded by rolling hills, lush green fields, and dense forests, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Corfton is a peaceful and tranquil place, far away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The village of Corfton has a rich history that dates back to the medieval period. It was once a thriving market town, and evidence of its past can still be seen in the form of historic buildings and landmarks. The most notable of these is the St. Mary's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a fine example of Norman architecture and is a popular attraction for visitors to the village.

Today, Corfton is a small and close-knit community, with a population of just over 200 people. The village has a post office, a village hall, and a pub, which serves traditional English food and ale. The surrounding countryside offers a range of outdoor activities, including hiking, cycling, and horse riding. Corfton is a hidden gem in the heart of Shropshire, and a must-visit destination for anyone looking to escape the stresses of modern life and reconnect with nature.
