Introducing Shropshire
Jewel in the Marches’ crown, the charming county of Shropshire ripples with heather-tickled hills, beautiful moorland and gushing rivers. It’s a large pastoral region whose sparse population prizes the good life filled with fine food, health, peace and quiet. The county capital of Shrewsbury is one of England’s loveliest Tudor towns, and nestled nearby is the fascinating industrial-heritage site of Ironbridge Gorge. Peppered with pretty villages, the beautiful southern Shropshire Hills undulate southwards and make wonderful walking territory. And at the county’s base you’ll find gourmet hub Ludlow, with its handsome castle and fanaticism for food.
