Wellington, Market town in Telford and Wrekin, England
Wellington extends across the northern region of Telford, with The Wrekin hill standing prominently three miles to the southwest of the town center.
The settlement received its first market charter in 1244, establishing a trading tradition that continues through Wellington Market's operation four days each week.
The Belfrey Theatre presents regular performances throughout the year, while Charter Day celebrations in March commemorate the town's medieval trading rights.
The central railway station connects Wellington to Birmingham and London through services operated by multiple train companies on the Welsh Marches railway line.
The town hosted the inaugural Shropshire Olympian Games in May 1861, marking the beginning of a regional sporting tradition.
