Welcome to Welsh Frankton

Welsh Frankton is a small village located in the county of Shropshire, England. It is situated on the banks of the Llangollen Canal and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village has a rich history, dating back to the 12th century when it was known as Frankton. The name "Welsh Frankton" was given to the village in the 19th century to distinguish it from the nearby English village of Frankton.

One of the main attractions of Welsh Frankton is the Llangollen Canal. The canal was built in the early 19th century and runs for 46 miles from Llangollen in Wales to Hurleston in Cheshire. It passes through Welsh Frankton and is a popular spot for boating and fishing. The canal is also home to a variety of wildlife, including otters, kingfishers, and herons.

Another notable feature of Welsh Frankton is St. Oswald's Church. The church dates back to the 12th century and is a Grade II listed building. It has a beautiful Norman doorway and a 14th-century tower. The church is still in use today and holds regular services. It is also a popular venue for weddings and other events. Overall, Welsh Frankton is a charming village with a rich history and plenty of natural beauty to explore.
