Yockleton is a village in Shropshire, England.
Yockleton is west of the county town of Shrewsbury, on the B4386 road to Montgomery and near the River Severn.[1] The population as taken at the 2011 census can be found under Condover
There is one local pub, the Yockleton Arms[2] (formerly the Pink Elephant), several miles west on the B4386, a 19th-century village church (C of E),[3] and a village hall, as well as an old people's home in the old Vicarage.
