Interesting facts about this location
West Felton
West Felton is a village and civil parish in Shropshire, England. At the 2001 census the parish, which also includes the settlements of Rednal, Grimpo and Haughton, had a population of 1,380. The village originally grew around a Norman castle, whose motte lies next to the church. It was recorded in the Domesday Book as Feltone, and as "Felton by le Knokyn" in 1303. The name Felton probably represents a combination of Old English feld, "open land", and tun, "settlement".

River Vyrnwy
The River Vyrnwy is a river which flows through northern Powys, Wales, and Shropshire, England. The river used to be sourced from the many rivers and streams running off the mountains surrounding the Vyrnwy valley. However, since the Lake Vyrnwy dam was built in the 1880s, the river has flowed directly from the base of the dam. The river runs for 39.7 miles, and the last 8 miles form part of the Welsh/English border between Powys and Shropshire.

It was once a place of local importance, and was for more than two centuries the seat of the Thornes, a leading family in Shropshire.
