Grindley Brook is a small village in Shropshire, England, on the A41 trunk road 2 miles (3.2 km) north west of the market town of Whitchurch.[1] It is the most northerly settlement in Shropshire and borders directly onto Cheshire, and is within the civil parish of Whitchurch Urban.
It is also the name of a small brook which flows past the village and marks the Cheshire-Shropshire border at this point.
Geography
[edit]The Llangollen branch of the Shropshire Union Canal passes through the village, and it is here that the canal descends to the Cheshire Plain. Three locks rise in a staircase near the village, and there are three other locks as the canal passes through the village.
The village is the starting point for four long-distance footpaths: the Maelor, Shropshire and South Cheshire Ways and the Sandstone Trail, and several others run through the village, including the Marches Way.
