Anchor is a small and very remote village in Shropshire, England.

It lies only 400m away from the border with Wales. The B4368 road runs through the village on its way from the towns of Clun (in England) to Newtown (in Wales). The point at which the B4368 crosses over the Nant Rhuddwr (a small river that runs along part of the English-Welsh border) into Wales is known as Anchor Bridge. Anchor is also the most westerly settlement in England on the English-Welsh border.

There is a public house in the village called The Anchor. This pub is one of the highest in Shropshire (at 385m above sea level) and is the most westerly in the county.

Surrounding Anchor is Clun Forest and the River Clun, which flows towards Newcastle-on-Clun and on to the River Teme near Leintwardine, has its various sources in the area too.

There are a number of small, disused quarries in the area. The local economy is mainly agricultural, with sheep and other livestock farms. There is an Anchor Horse Fair held in the area too.
