Eardington is a small village and civil parish in Shropshire, England. It is near the A442 road and is two kilometres south of the town of Bridgnorth, along the B4555 road. The Severn Valley Railway runs immediately to the east of the village and there was once a stop on the line, situated about half a mile to the south, between Upper and Lower Forge, called Eardington Halt.
The half-mile Eardington Forge canal connected the forges to the River Severn. This was opened in 1782 and closed in 1889 when the forges stopped working.[1]
