Wroxeter Shropshire Map

About Wroxeter

Wroxeter, a place where echoes of Roman grandeur still whisper across the fields, holds a quiet dignity in the Shropshire landscape. It lies 8.3 km east-south-east of Shrewsbury (from Shrewsbury: bearing 119°T, OS grid SJ 563 084), and is situated east-south-east of Atcham village. The gentle rise of the land here, under skies that often hold a soft, diffused light, hints at the strategic importance of this ancient site, once the thriving Roman city of Viroconium Cornoviorum. Today, the ruins of its baths and basilica stand as proud, weathered monuments, testament to a formidable past, while the village itself unfolds with a more contemporary, unhurried charm. The River Severn, a broad, reflective ribbon, flows not far from its edge, a constant presence shaping the contours of the surrounding countryside.
