Acton Burnell is a village in the English county of Shropshire. It lies at 110m above sea level and is near to Park Wood. There are the remains of Acton Burnell castle – not truly a castle but a fortified manor house created by Robert Burnell and dating to the 13th century. Acton Burnell Hall is now inhabited by Concord College, an international college, in the grounds of which stand the remaining walls of the 'Parliament Barn' where the English Parliament met in 1283. Running to the NW of the village is a Roman road.
