Alderton Shropshire Map

About Alderton

Alderton breathes a quiet charm in the Shropshire countryside. It lies 5.3 km south-south-west of Wem (from Wem: bearing 198°T, OS grid SJ 496 238), and is situated north-north-east of Harmer Hill village. The hamlet itself is a collection of dwellings that seem to have grown organically from the rich, dark soil, their brickwork softened by time and the frequent West Midlands rain. A gentle undulation of fields, patched with the deep greens of pasture and the paler gold of ripening crops, surrounds Alderton, catching the low sun in a way that might make the very air seem to shimmer. The nearby River Roden, a silver thread in the landscape, whispers its ceaseless journey through the surrounding meadows. Alderton’s history is not loudly proclaimed, but rather etched subtly into the weathered gateposts and the ancient hedgerows that map the land.
