Shropshire Holiday Brochure

Shropshire, maybe one of England's quiet counties but don't be deceived there's still plenty to see and do. Shropshire has over 90 places to visit - historic houses and castles with beautiful gardens, the famous Ironbridge, museums and family attractions.

Shropshire has many traditional market towns including gourmet Ludlow and the county town of Shrewsbury. Shrewsbury almost surrounded by the River Severn and birthplace of Charles Darwin, is a medieval delight of black and white buildings.

The Shropshire landscape reflects the fact that Shropshire is geologically unique and creates the special habitats that ensures that Shropshire wildlife is so diverse. All this adds up to making Shropshire great walking country.

So whether you're out and about on Shropshire Hills, by the Meres and Mosses or strolling along with the Shropshire Union and Llangollen Canals you can guarantee the Shropshire air will rejuvenate and restore you.

Languid canals contrast with babbling trout streams but all are overshadowed by the majestic River Severn, as it meanders through the County, linking the towns of Shrewsbury, Ironbridge and Bridgnorth with a patchwork of fields, wooded valleys and heather clad hills.

Shropshire has always lived in interesting times. A stormy past has left us with a littering of hillforts, castles and abbeys, which were put to the sword again and again.

You'll find about 25 hillforts - clear evidence of the Iron Age civilisation of around 600BC - built with deep ditches and ramparts to keep out the riff raff.

We can boast 32 castles in all with Ludlow, Stokesay, Whittington and Clun being perhaps the finest. Ruined abbeys are reminders of our medieval spiritual past.

Unspoilt, unrushed and tranquil
