Cwm Head is a hamlet in Shropshire, England. The name is part-Welsh, part-English and means "Head of the Valley". It is located in the civil parish of Wistanstow and on the B4370 road, 1+1⁄4 miles (2.0 km) southwest of Marshbrook and the A49 road. From Cwm Head, the B4370 heads downhill both towards Marshbrook and in the other direction towards Horderley and the A489. There is a Church of England parish church at Cwm Head - "St Michael and All Angels". It was built in 1845 to a neo-Norman design by H. C. Whitling and is built largely of stone.
