The village is situated along the River Severn, on the Shrewsbury and Worcester turnpike road near the Severn Valley railway, and comprises 2,151 acres.〔(Vision of Britain, Leighton )〕 The village itself is small, and comprises just a few houses, a church, a pub (the Kynnersley Arms) and Hall. There are several black and white buildings which line the Shrewsbury to Ironbridge road which runs through the village, and provides the main transport link for the villagers. There is also a good deal of vegetation, such as trees and shrubbery lining the roads, some of the which also form part of the Leighton Hall estate, which is a red-brick building built in around 1778. Standing at the entrance to the hall is Leighton Lodge, which is significant as it is the birthplace of Shropshire author Mary Webb who wrote ''Precious Bane'' and various other stories about Shropshire.
The village church, St Mary's Church, is also within the Parkland although it does predate its neighbour by around 60 years.〔(Shropshire Tourism, Leighton )〕
