It is a relatively new town (compared to other places in Shropshire), being only a small village called Newton on a 1695 map.

It is located in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is the site of the Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre. The River Onny flows to the town's east.

The town has a railway station that provides direct trains to Shrewsbury, Manchester, North Wales and South Wales. The Heart of Wales railway line joins the Welsh Marches line just outside the town's station.
