Buildwas Shropshire Map

About Buildwas

Buildwas rests in the gentle Shropshire landscape, a place where the River Severn flows with quiet purpose. It lies 4.6 km north-west of Broseley (from Broseley: bearing 308°T, OS grid SJ 638 046), and is situated south-south-west of Little Wenlock village. The ruins of Buildwas Abbey, a Cistercian foundation, still stand, their weathered stone whispering tales of medieval devotion and monastic life beneath the wide, often soft, English sky. A particular beauty can be found in the way the late afternoon sun catches the remaining arches, casting long, dancing shadows across the grassy floor of the former cloister. The land here is a patchwork of greens, divided by hedgerows that seem to hold their breath in the stillness.
