Recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, Alberbury is a village in Shropshire, England, on the B4393 road which travels from Ford to Lake Vyrnwy.
The River Severn runs just north of the village, and most of the village is in a designated conservation area.
Alberbury Castle is at the centre of the village as is Loton Hall and the attached deer park. Alberbury is home to Loton Park, with the Loton Park Hill Climb. The village also has a cricket club. The village hall hosts meetings of the Women's Institute and the Young Farmers' Association. Rodney's Pillar is a nearby landmark popular with ramblers.
Nearby and as part of the development of Central Ammunition Depot in World War II, Nesscliffe base had an ammunition depot built beneath Loton Park. This was used for storage of incendiary ammunition and was operated in co-operation with and guarded by the United States Army Air Forces.
