Alberbury is situated on the B4393, approximately 16 kms (10 miles) west of Shrewsbury. Most of the village is within a designated Conservation Area, with the church being the main focal point. The social life of the village is centred around the comparatively new village hall, with a very active Women's Institute and Young Farmers Club meeting regularly. Unfortunately both school and shop have long been closed. Loton Hall (Grade II Listed) owned by Sir Michael Leighton, is surrounded by a 350-acre deer park.

Cardeston is a small settlement situated approximately 11 kms (7 miles) west of Shrewsbury, immediately off the main A458. Other than a church, the village has no facilities.

Wattlesborough Heath is located on the A458 approximately one km (half a mile) to the east of Halfway House. It has few services or community facilities, with the local school having recently closed, but has a small supermarket and post office opposite the village hall.
