Hopton Castle (village)
Hopton Castle is a small village and civil parish in south Shropshire, England.
St Mary's church at Hopton Castle
The village grew up near the keep of Hopton Castle, which was opened as a visitor attraction in 2011. Nearby is the hamlet of Hopton Heath, with its railway station on the Heart of Wales Line. Also nearby are the villages of Bedstone, Bucknell and Clungunford.
Because of the small population of the parish, instead of a parish council it has a parish meeting.
The parish church of St Mary is a Grade II listed building.
Hopton Titterhill
Within the parish, to the southwest of the village, lies Hopton Titterhill, a wooded hill which is open access land. The hill rises to 397 metres (1,302 ft) above sea level, and the summit provides a good view of the lower Clun valley.
