Welcome to Merrington

Merrington is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles south of the town of Shifnal and 10 miles east of Telford. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including the Grade II listed St. Michael's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The village also has a primary school, a village hall, and a pub.

One of the main attractions of Merrington is its peaceful and rural setting. The village is surrounded by fields and farmland, making it an ideal location for those who enjoy walking, cycling, or simply taking in the scenery. The village is also close to a number of other popular attractions in Shropshire, including the Ironbridge Gorge, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the historic market town of Bridgnorth.

Despite its small size, Merrington has a strong sense of community. The village hall hosts a range of events throughout the year, including a popular annual fete, and the local pub, The Red Lion, is a popular meeting place for residents and visitors alike. The village also has a number of active community groups, including a gardening club and a history society, which help to preserve the village's heritage and promote a sense of community spirit.
