Hopton Heath
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hopton Heath, or Hoptonheath, is a hamlet in Shropshire, England. The border with Herefordshire is close by.[1] It lies on the border of the civil parishes of Clungunford and Hopton Castle.
There is a railway station here - Hopton Heath railway station - which today is little more than a halt on the Heart of Wales Line. A couple of small businesses operate from units near the station and there is also a site of holiday chalets, called "Ashlea Pools".
One mile to the west is the larger village of Hopton Castle, and also nearby are the villages of Bedstone, Clungunford and the hamlets of Beckjay and Abcott - with its Rocke Cottage (was Bird on the Rock) tea rooms.
