Bitterley is an ancient village that is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086 when it was known as Buterlei. The village sits beneath the western slopes of Titterstone Clee Hill, one of the famous Clee Hills in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The village is approx 4 miles east of the historic market town of Ludlow, and is the location of Bitterley Court - a Grade II listed building and longtime seat of the Walcot family.
