Woofferton

Woofferton

Woofferton is a village to the south of Ludlow, Shropshire, England. It is one of Shropshire's most southerly villages and lies on the border with Herefordshire. The public house there - the "Salwey Arms" - is the most southerly in the county.

Woofferton is at the crossroads of the A49 Ludlow-Leominster road (north-south), the A456 road that strikes eastwards and the B4362 (westwards).

It is best known for the Woofferton transmitting station and a Travelodge.

It was formerly served by the now-defunct Tenbury & Bewdley Railway. The larger Herefordshire village of Brimfield is just over the border to the south.
