Welcome to Moortown

Moortown is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. The village is situated in the north of the county, close to the border with Wales. Moortown is a rural community with a population of around 200 people. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and fields of crops. The area is popular with walkers and hikers, who come to explore the many footpaths and trails that criss-cross the landscape.

Moortown has a long history, dating back to the medieval period. The village was once home to a number of small farms and cottages, which were used to support the local community. Today, many of these buildings have been converted into homes, and the village has a mix of old and new properties. There is a small church in the village, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is dedicated to St. Mary and is a popular spot for visitors to the area.

Despite its small size, Moortown has a strong sense of community. The village has a number of local events throughout the year, including a summer fete and a Christmas fair. There is also a village hall, which is used for a variety of activities, including yoga classes, dance lessons, and community meetings. The village pub, The Moortown Inn, is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike, serving up traditional pub food and a range of local ales.
