Clive is a village and civil parish in Shropshire, England, United Kingdom.
Clive is situated around the west side of Grinshill Hill, with many in a rural setting. Grinshill sandstone, from the nearby quarry at Grinshill is used throughout the village for building material from walls and houses to the village church. Grinshill is a nearby village and beauty spot.
The English Restoration dramatist William Wycherley was born at Clive.
Clive is situated just off the A49, and the B5476. The village itself has country roads throughout, where in places the passing of two cars require one to pull in.
There is a railway station nearby, on the Welsh Marches Line, at Yorton, between Wem and Shrewsbury. The station at Yorton is served by roughly one train every 2 hours in either direction, and is a request stop, requiring the station passenger to wave at the approaching train in order to stop it and be picked up.
The village is served by bus routes to nearby towns Wem, Shrewsbury, and Whitchurch, giving services 4 to 6 times per day, higher than average for a village in the local area.
In the centre of the village is the All Saints church [1] which holds regular services. The vicar is Rob Haarhoff.
Clive Church of England primary school is situated halfway up Grinshill Hill.
