Welcome to Kenley

Kenley is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. It is situated on the eastern edge of the Long Mynd, a range of hills that is popular with hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. The village itself is home to a number of historic buildings, including a 12th-century church and a 17th-century manor house. Despite its small size, Kenley has a strong sense of community, with regular events and activities taking place throughout the year.

One of the main attractions of Kenley is its stunning natural surroundings. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and lush green countryside, making it the perfect destination for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The Long Mynd offers a range of hiking trails, from gentle strolls to more challenging routes, and there are plenty of opportunities for wildlife spotting along the way. For those who prefer to take things at a slower pace, there are plenty of picturesque villages and towns to explore in the surrounding area.

Despite its rural location, Kenley is well-connected to the rest of Shropshire and beyond. The village is just a short drive from the market town of Church Stretton, which has a range of shops, restaurants, and amenities. The historic city of Shrewsbury is also within easy reach, offering a wealth of cultural attractions and entertainment options. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or an action-packed adventure, Kenley is the perfect base from which to explore all that Shropshire has to offer.
